"Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 16: "Chemical Vs Natural products "

Herbs is one of the natural product that have been used in the past to cure various kind of disease or illness in our body. Africans value this natural product because it help them to be strong all the time.

Nigeria parents use this traditional medicine to bath one to five months old baby in order for the child to be healthy and strong.

Describe your view on the use of the two products.

Both natural and chemical product are perfectly good but one is better than the latter because most of the drugs they were producing now a days have herbs ingredient. Some people believe that once they use traditional medicine it will immediately cure their sickness.

Chemical product especially drugs manage the illness it would not cure the root of illness but herbs does. In my family we have different herbs we used to cure different kind of disease and it work fine with us. Natural product does not have any side effect but chemical product have, that's why it is like by all.

Most developed countries use chemical product to preserve their food from getting spoil while others like Japan, China etc drink hot herbal tea early in the morning to cure heart attack and others sickness

What is your opinion on the eradication of chemical products?

Chemical product is very dangerous to our health, this product have different side effect to the extent that it will affect some organ in our body system. Malaria drugs for example have different side effect such as dizzy, cough, feeling tired and fever. Even after the doctors confirm you have malaria parasite you would still experience this aforementioned above.

Additionally, majority of our youths abuse chemical product in which affected their whole system to be disorganise, some of them having mental illness as a result of chemical product they have been abuse so chemical product must be eradicate in our society.

Chemical product like cream often damage people skin you will see one side of our body dark and the other side brown, this particular product are very dangerous to us so we must beware of them.

Despite the disadvantages .Do you think the two is important in our lives?

Yes, they are important if their is no natural product especially herbs and is no longer working as we think, we may now refer to use drugs as the kind of treatment to treat different kind of illness in our body.

Another things why drugs is very important is because once the nurses carry out test and they truly found out what is really happen to you, they would not waste their time to give you appropriate prescription.

Shea butter has been working perfectly for joint pain, headache and skin care which is far better than chemical product.

Have you had any personal experience from both products?

Chewing stick have been used in the olden day, till now many people continue using it because it clean their teeth the way they want. Anytime I used chewing stick to clean up my teeth I realized the gum or most food I ate quickly remove and my teeth shinning all day.

Moreover, chemical product also have their own advantage but most of the time I prefer natural product because I stayed with my grandmother than my both parents.

Nigerians value natural product so much few of us copy western pattern, what is work for them in their countries may not usually work for us here. I will like to invite @bonaventure24, @eliany, @ridwant to join me in this contest.
