Do not get caught up in herbal medication madness!

[Leila]

In recent years, the demand for herbal products is increasing. However, these products, which are thought to be healthy and harmless, are not as innocent as they are supposed to be!

Attracting attention to the harms of herbal medicines Bursa Eczacilar Cooperative (BEK) Board Member Eczaciler Cooperative (BEK) Yeşim Baş said, "Let's not use what we hear every time we go to herbal medicine madness. In our society, the tendency to turn to herbal products has increased, considering that they are natural in the last period and they do not contain chemical substances. But let's not forget that plants contain many substances together. So the herbal products are not as innocent as they thought. Let's not count what we hear every day, which is the fad of the product of today's fashion. We should not use the herbal products which are prepared in the unaccessible hands and whose source is indeterminate, for the purpose of medicines. Your consultant is your doctor and pharmacist so you can benefit from these products. "

Should Herbal Tea be consumed?
Pharm. While Yeşim Baş is preparing for winter season, it is appropriate to use herbal teas which we all know the benefits of: "It is possible to meet the water need of the body with hot drinks especially in the cold seasons and it is possible to turn this into healing with different herbal teas. Here again, we can use the teas found in our pharmacies with pharmacy counseling. We know that the teas found in our pharmacies are produced in hygienic conditions with appropriate methods, with the drogs obtained from the correct vegetable sources. Therefore, we can present our patients as natural support with peace of mind. In addition, the pharmacist's advice is also gaining importance, as every plant will not be a hero at all or may be harmful in some cases. In addition to all these, people in the risk group should have flu vaccination. Respiratory system disease, cardiovascular system disease, diabetes, etc. aged people with metabolic illnesses such as those who are also exposed to infection, and healthy adults working in places open to infection once a year in the vaccine is useful.

Wash your hands frequently with soap
Pharm. Yeşim Baş says that these measures are as precious as any other precautionary measure, often with hand washing with soap. "Please do not try to disinfect your hands as long as there is a classical, easily accessible method such as water and soap. All bacteria are killed in the disinfected area. So we kill the harmful, we also destroy the benefits. However, with water and soap, only the bacteria in the area being washed are mechanically removed from the environment. We have not destroyed our first fighters to fight the harmful microorganisms on the skin that make up the skin flora and actually protect us. But if we do not have access to water and sabbatas, hand disinfectants should be our secondary measure. In summary, it is very effective to take some classical and simple measures to protect against seasonal diseases.

Protecting from Disease Made Easy
Ecz is also easier and cheaper than treating the diseases that will arise to protect ourselves during the seasonal changes. Yeşim Baş says that the simple operations to be done in order not to get sick will actually protect us. Ecz says that seasonal passages are often periods of intense cold. The chief gives the following information:

"In order to protect against such diseases, it is best to try to keep the body heat constant during these periods where the temperature differences are particularly prominent. A cardigan protects us better than many other medicines to protect us from the heat drops in the morning and evening hours. This period is a period that we should not pay attention to especially. Often we understand that when it comes to protective measures, we should not consume certain drug groups. However, these medicines and support products should be used at special times when our body needs extra support, not at regular times. "

Your Doctor and Your Eczacinız Consultant
Ecz tells us that we will not need such supports during periods when we are healthy. Yeşim Baş, only if we are passing through a special period in our lives; for example, if we have changed our working, sleeping, eating habits, or if we are experiencing events that negatively affect our mental state, we can get support from vitamins and herbal products under extreme stress. Pharm. Yeşim Baş especially emphasizes that by taking advice from doctors and pharmacists in order to determine what we need during these times, we will really benefit from using these products.
