In this week's episode of The Growth Medium, Sara and Mim take it upon themselves to look further into the world of 'alternative medicine', and ask some very important questions. Do alternative remedies do more harm than good? And do they need as much regulation as modern medicines on the market receive? Is there any research validating its benefits?
Sara and Mim also share their hot drink preferences and Mim tells us a little bit more about how she got through foundation year exam season....Not an episode you want to miss!
