When the health problem is more serious, medication could last for longer and even for alifetime in some chronic illness. Having said that one could easily conclude that these medicines are not capable of treating the disease, they could only control or suppress the symptoms associated with a particular disease which opens the doors for another major health issues as these medicines are prepared using strong chemicals that make the organs suffer in long run.

In the last few years, people have realized that western medication is not the solution and have started searching for another option to treat a chronic illness, condition or improper functioning of some organ. Homeopathy has gained a lot of attention because it completely has no side effects and treats a health problem from its root cause instead of controlling or suppressing the disease.
