There have been long deliberations on which one of the two systems of healing existing today, i.e. Western medicine and holistic health care, is the better of the two. The latter has gained in popularity in the recent past, due to the active and committed awareness efforts of environmentalists who have enlightened us about how harmful chemicals are to the environmental as a whole, and to our bodies in particular. The decision on which of the two is better depends upon inner perceptions and what you want, with regard to results.
