Beware the Risks: Understanding the Dangers of Over-the-Counter Medications

preview

As you may already know, if you’re not new here, I’m only 5 years strong into this natural living journey. I grew up on conventional medicine and OTC meds for ailments. I’m grateful to have the option of conventional medicine if there were to ever be an emergency (though being in America, it would cost me my soul to pay for the bill later.) So while it’s nice to have, I believe preventative measures are extremely important for good health. 
So, while it’s good to have these options, they don’t come without risks. In a sense, nearly everything on Earth has a risk, but if you can avoid it and use something safer, why not choose the latter? Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and allergy medications are readily available at your local drugstore, and it’s easy to assume they are safe for use. After all, they are sold without a prescription and are designed to treat common ailments like headaches, fever, and allergies. However, it’s important to be aware of their potential risks, particularly when taken in high doses or over a long period of time.
In conclusion, over-the-counter medications can be effective in minimizing symptoms of common ailments, but they can also come with serious risks. This is one of the many reasons I’ve phased out of conventional medicine for routine care and use and now use natural remedies for everything we have faced in the past 5 years. I must say, I am thankful we haven’t run into any medical issues that couldn’t be handled at home. I know this isn’t the case for many Americans these days. As always, do what works for you and your family! If you want to learn more about natural remedies, follow Nourishing Our Hive! You can also dive into it in this post.
