Dangers of Tranquilizers Abuse
The excessive or random use of tranquilizers could increase the possibilities of a permanent headache or addiction, so patients should ask doctors first to prescribe sedatives.
The pharmacist stressed that using them needs supervision from doctors.
Natural Alternatives for Tranquilizers
Dr. Saeed offered a group of natural choices having the same effect as tranquilizers. Ginger is one of the most famous natural painkillers which relaxes all body and bones' pains.
Also, the mint is a good alternative because of the menthol inside it. But he advised the pregnant women not to use it much.
Rosemary and the green tea are effective against the inflammation as well as cinnamon and fennel.
He also mentioned that there are food supplements, functioning like sedatives at the pharmacies.
