I strongly agree that effectiveness of any treatment depends upon the mental attitude of the patient. Where there is will there is way. If the patient is willing to become alright, one would cooperate with the doctors, follow the doctor’s orders and take medicines regularly. Hence recovery will be fast and effective. In this essay I shall elaborate on my view point and some forms of medical treatments.

 The Homeopathic deals with administration of small quantities of mild medicines in the form of small white and sweet granules. This type of treatment cures the diseases permanently; however treatment takes little longer while. The patient should have patience to be OK. There are no side effects in this treatment.

Herbal (Ayurvedic): The treatment comprises of powders, tablets, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. This is one of the oldest types of treatment and has no side effects. This type of treatment is faster compared to Homeopathic.
