Side effects of your medications can result in the need for your physician to prescribe one or more medications to counteract those symptoms. The new prescriptions can result in more prescriptions being recommending and so forth. This is what we call the medication cycle.

To stop this cycle, some people may choose to use natural products to work on the root cause of their illness which can enhance their overall health and well-being and reduce the need for the medications. Here are some potential benefits of using natural products:

Reduced side effects: Some natural products offer similar benefits to medication but with fewer side effects. For example, some herbal remedies may be effective in reducing inflammation or managing pain.

Improved overall health: Some natural products may help to improve overall health and well-being, which can help to support the body’s natural healing processes. For example, certain supplements may help to support the immune system or reduce stress.

Personal preference: Some people may simply prefer using natural products as part of their healthcare routine, whether for cultural, philosophical, or other personal reasons.

Less toxicity: Removing ingested or injected chemicals can reduce the toxic load in the body allowing the detoxification organs to focus on other areas.

If you are interested in incorporating natural products into your healthcare routine, it’s important to talk to a holistic healthcare provider first. They can help you determine which products may be safe and effective for you and can provide guidance on how to use them safely and effectively. Additionally, it’s important to purchase natural products from reputable sources and to follow the recommended dosages and usage instructions.


It’s important to remember that medication prescribed by a physician can be necessary to treat certain medical conditions. Before making any changes to your medication regimen, it’s essential to consult with your prescribing physician. While natural products, such as herbs, supplements, and essential oils, offer health benefits, they are not a substitute for medication and should not be used as a sole treatment for a medical condition. In some cases, natural products may even interact with medication or cause adverse effects. Always work with a holistic healthcare practitioner when attempting to use natural products while on medications.
