LIFE AND DEATH
We humans have always used nature to fight disease. There are examples of nature-based treatment techniques that have led to breakthroughs in medical research and science, such as X-rays.
Other times, such forms of treatment are described as alternative medicine or even quackery. The question "Does it work?" is easier to ask than to answer. Sometimes people find that the treatment works, without it being scientifically proven.
