WHEN modern medicine is getting more expensive and not always lead to healing, herbal medicines are more and see people. Even so, should remain cautious. Although made from natural ingredients, herbs can also be dangerous if taken carelessly. Consider some cases of "accidents" caused by taking herbal medicines.
At a seminar on medicinal plants at the University of Indonesia early last year, Eko, the father of an 50-year-old, spoke about his experience with herbs.
After drinking a potion gods crown, she fainted. Investigate a calibaration, Eko who want to recover from these hypertensive disease Phaleria boil following five seeds. The water was boiled and then he drank a lot in the hope of illness recover quickly. She fainted because his blood pressure dropped dramatically.
Prapti Utami, a doctor who focuses on herbal medicine and joined the Indonesian Doctors Association of Traditional Eastern Health Development, said the experience of other experienced by patients before finally dealt Prapti.
Patients who were teenagers were also passed out because his mother went along to drink potions Dutch identity for slimming. "He's got a problem with the mag, while the Dutch identity had a gastric irritant effects," said Prapti.
He warned, though made from natural ingredients, herbs also contain active chemicals such as chemical drugs generally. Therefore, the use of herbs should consult with a doctor who studied the problem of herbs.
Prapti pointed, purple leaves as raw material herb contains flavonoids that function deadly bacteria. The leaves also contain natural steroids which are useful for anti-inflammatory and also contains alkaloids to soften the stool.
Need a diagnosis
Herbs can not be taken arbitrarily because the response of each individual can differ from one another. "Although a similar complaint, not necessarily a given herbal match between a patient and other patients," said Prapti.
Therefore, before giving herbal treatments, the doctor will first diagnose a patient's disease. Such as general medicine, the diagnosis is established through interviews with patients, physical examination, and if necessary to hold laboratory or radiology.
From this diagnosis will be known to the patient's medical history and risk of reactions to herbal interactions. "This diagnosis needs to be done because the metabolism of each individual is different," continued Prapti.
Finding a doctor who studied about herbs is no longer difficult. Now many doctors are combining medicine with herbal remedies. In addition to herbal clinics, in some hospitals, such as the Hospital or Doctor Soetomo Surabaya Yogyakarta Bethesda Hospital, has also opened the herbal treatment. In Purwakarta, West Java, there is also a special herbal hospital.
Herbs also have side effects such as chemical drugs. Side effects that arise can vary, such as diarrhea, shivering, blood pressure dropped dramatically, nausea, or dizziness. If you experience such side effects, said Prapti, patients should immediately consult a doctor.
According Prapti, usually a single herb is consumed along with other herbs to complement or reduce side effects. For example, the Dutch identity is commonly used for slimming has a side effect of irritating the stomach. Therefore, the consumption of Dutch identity must be concurrent with white ginger or turmeric to reduce stomach irritation.
Keep in mind, during treatment with both herbal and artificial drugs, patients should drink two liters of water per day. This is to cleanse the kidneys. "Actually, without taking any herbs we still have to drink a lot for kidney health," said Prapti.
It takes patience
Seeking healing with herbal medicine sometimes takes patience. Because, unlike chemical drugs, herbal treatment takes a relatively longer time. "That if there are herbal remedies can cespleng (direct heal), we should be suspicious," said Ida Marlinda, drug researcher at the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI).
According to Ida, herbal cespleng usually mixed with chemicals, drugs (BKO) specific. YLKI never received a complaint of a mother in Borneo. The mother wants her son's thin because it is difficult to eat so fond of eating and getting fat. The mother then bought bottled herbal appetite enhancer.
Within a month, his son really be fat and gained more than 3 kilograms. "It turns out that mixed herbal steroids," said Ida. Not long ago, the boy suffered moonface (rounded face).
There is also the case of an asthmatic child suddenly cured after drinking the herbal medicine practitioners of traditional medicine is packaged. After investigation, herbs that contain tetracycline (an antibiotic). So, should indeed not buy just any herbal medicines.
