Traditional vs Modern Medicines
CWSF · 2026 Health & Wellness
Overview
Traditional vs Modern Medicines What will fight off the most bacteria, traditional or modern medicines. I used 3 traditional medicines and one modern medicine. I swabbed bacteria from my hockey gloves onto petri dishes that had the medicines on it. I waited 3 days for my bacteria to grow and once they grew I counted the bacteria to see what fought off the most bacteria. After counting I found that the modern medicine used killed off the most bacteria. It helps to show that our traditional teachings are still valuable even if our modern medicines fight off the most bacteria.
