Results
33
Results Arabic physicians used plants to enhance the power of human body especially the power of sex, and they try to use them for muscle especially for people who couldn't eat meats.
34
Results The main thing and unfortunately the dangerous one that some plant nowadays are discontinued, and stopped using by physicians due to harmful side-effects some of them works as poisons (genetic abnormalities and mutations).
35
Results This lead us to pay attention before take any botanical medications without full scientific knowledge. Unfortunately, many people in poor countries are still using plants without any previous knowledge (may be because it's cheaper than drugs, and due to their thought that it's more safety).
36
Market Education Governmental Procedures
Plant Prescription Market Education Governmental Procedures
37
Solutions Is it enough to Issue Laws which punish anyone sell these plants without any scientific knowledge? Is it enough to open more colleges for botanic therapy especially in the poor countries? Is it enough to educate people through media the risk of using plants without prescription?
38
Subject for Dicussing What the situation in your country about using plants in medication? Is there permission given to person who sells plants for medical aims? How did you solve this situation?
