Abstract :
Modern medication has proven to be effective in preventing and curing many types of illnesses and prolonging life of many people. However, as mod-ern medicines rely on the issuance of synthetic med-ications, they produce negative side effects that practically supersedes the advantages that one gains from using them. Therefore, consumers are in search of other types of medications particularly, alternative medicines. Individuals’ awareness of liv-ing a healthy lifestyle is the primary reason that has increased the worldwide demand for alternative medicines .
