I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say they've tried natural product "x" and it didn't work. They often say it was the most expensive one, or the clerk at the store said it was the most popular or even that it was in the nicest package. They complain about how they spent the money and the product either didn't work well, or didn't work at all.
That's like walking into a drugstore and going to the cough & cold section and grabbing a random product off the shelf in hopes that it works. Without a little knowledge of the ingredients or what it's actually made for, you might as well eat a tic-tac.
There are a few reasons why so many natural products don't seem to work. First off, not every product labeled 'natural' IS natural. Marketing is everywhere. Natural products & remedies are not immune to clever slogans and pretty packaging. Don't be fooled, read the ingredients & ask questions. Better yet, do some research & talk to a trustworthy professional.
The second reason why natural products don't preform well for John Doe is that not all natural products are created equal. Like I said before, read the labels, ask questions, and get some professional assistance. Just as you would go to a doctor for a prescription, you should go to a professional Practitioner to get the right remedy. Professionals know which products are of higher quality and consistently preform well. Why? Because they work with clients and these products on a daily basis. Trust me, we know which ones are potent, proven to work consistently & manufactured to a higher standard.The third and likely the most common reason why natural products don't seem to work is due to the delicate balance of enzymes, ph, vitamins, minerals, deficiencies & so on that are already in the body prior to feeling ill. So, when you grab a natural remedy for say, a stuffy nose, it might not work so great if your microbiome is out of balance. Now there is what the Husband calls a "Five Dollar Word". LOL The microbiome is basically your gut health. When this is out of balance natural product "A" might not work for you. You might need natural product "X" in addition to a vitamin or essential oil, or even an herbal supplement.
I've seen it all to many times. Someone comes to me and says natural product "X" worked for Sally Snowball and it didn't work for me at all. Well, my shortest answer to that is not everybody's body is the same. With so many things to consider, it's no wonder that so many people pick up the wrong remedy so often.
Here is the best advice I can give you when using natural products. Seek the advice of a well trained Practitioner first. Ask a lot of questions, build a relationship with them. Most Natural & Holistic Health Practitioners are more than willing to help educate you on the products and services they offer. They will usually spend 1-2 hours with you at your initial visit, ask loads of questions and offer up free advice in addition to what you went in for.
Bottom line is: Yes, natural products Do work - especially under the supervision of a well trained Holistic Health Practitioner.
The time, effort and monetary value of a skilled professional is absolutely worth it. Restoring yourself to optimal health is much more complex than just swallowing a pill or eating better. Like I said before, not everybody's body is the same. You are a unique creature of nature with unique needs. Educate yourself, see a professional Practitioner, take charge of your health, and live fully.
