Blog about how you think about “conventional” vs. “natural” OTC healthcare products and what the distinctions are between them.  How do you refer to them—what do you call them?  What are the characteristics/traits found in each type?  How can you tell if an OTC healthcare product is “conventional” vs. “natural”?  Is it easy/difficult to tell—what specific clues do you look for?

I think the main difference between these two is the fact that conventional always seems a blend in because it's been used for so many years as to where natural always seem to stick out. When it comes to Natural always think that it regardless of the ingredients it's got to be something healthy for you compared to conventional thinking that is always going to give you the same results. I can honestly say that I have terms that I refer to either of them other than the healthy one and the common one whenever I tend to use them. I guess it's really hard to tell if a medicine is conventional or natural without the label because you're not really so unless is a really popular brand like we all know Tylenol or NyQuil is not natural then you really have no ideas of knowing what it could actually be. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing. The trend is that more and more people are reading the labels anyway so it's really not that big of a deal. I guess if you're willing to read the labels for your food then why not just read them for the thing that supposed to help make you get better which is the medicine. I think in due time more and more places will resort to the whole natural type of medicine but they know the conventional itself so they don't really want to reduce selling that.
