Natural vs. Synthetic Chemicals

Herbs, Synthetic and Natural drugs

Herb drugs(natural): An herb is a plant or plant part used for its scent, flavor, or therapeutic properties. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, and fresh or dried plants. People use herbal medicines to try to maintain or improve their health.

Natural purifed drugs: involve a wide range of natural therapies that work on both the physical and emotional body in order to relieve pain, improve health, and also improve emotional conditions such as stress or anxiety.

Synthetic drugs: Term that refers to non-organic, chemically synthesized, unsafe recreational drugs such as ecstasy. Often yield unreliable results, cause seizures and comas, reduce or remove inhibitions from the user. Usually these drugs have mild to serious hallucinogenic and psychotic/nervous system effects, heavy health risks, and are extremely easy to overdose.

Pros and Cons of Natural drugs

Pros and Cons of Synthetic drugs

  • Sofia Vargas #24
  • Zara Vazquez #25

Cons: -Herbal medicines do not have to go through the testing that drugs do. Some herbs, such as comfrey and ephedra, can cause serious harm. Some herbs can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medicines. Inappropriate for many conditions: Modern medicine treats sudden and serious illnesses and accidents much more effectively than herbal or alternative treatments. An herbalist would not be able to treat serious trauma, such as a broken leg, nor would he be able to heal an appendicitis or a heart attack as effectively as a conventional doctor using modern diagnostic tests, surgery, and drugs.

Pros: Reduced risk of side effects: Most herbal medicines are well tolerated by the patient, with fewer unintended consequences than pharmaceutical drugs. Herbs typically have fewer side effects than traditional medicine, and may be safer to use over time. Lower cost: Another advantage to herbal medicine is cost. Herbs cost much less than prescription medications. Research, testing, and marketing add considerably to the cost of prescription medicines.

In this presentation, we will expose what are natural and synthetic drugs, and also pros and cons of both. We will also give our opinion on what we think is better, natural or chemical

Advantages of using synthetic drug sources :

-Less time consuming

-May be more sustainable

Disadvantages of using synthetic drug sources:

-They tend to have fewer therapeutic effects

-Many synthetic drugs cause unacceptable side effects.

Our opinion

We are in favor of synthetic drugs because:

  • Definitely they are more efficient.
  • They take less time than natural.
  • Their effects are stronger.
  • They are tested in a laboratory and inspected by people that know.

And yes, we are aware of the side effects, they can cause, but we think that the effectiveness is the thing that matters with medicines.
