Create a table comparing the benefits and side effects of modern medicines vs. herbal medicines for common ailments.

Herbal medicine is considered to be more effective than modern medicine for treating common ailments. Because modern duality requires a lot of cost and money.

Herbal remedies are also considered folk remedies, because most herbal medicines are part of our country's production. While modern medicines are manufactured in laboratories, modern medicine gives immediate relief from the disease.
