Isticmaalka daawooyinka Dhaqanka
Dadka kunool daafaha caalamka -- ayna kujiraan kuwo kunool Maraykanka -waxay
adeegsadaan daawooyin dhaqameedka si ay uga caawiyaan markay xanuunsan yihiin ama inay
caafimaadkooda udifaacdaan.
Tusaalayaasha noocyadaan daawooyin dhaqameedka ah waa kaniiniyo, kuwo budo ah, shaax
iyo maadooyinka la iskudaaweeyo ee laga sameeyay geedaha ama dhir daaweedka ee
wadankaaga ama aad kaheli karto halkaan wadanka Maraykanka.
Qaar badan oo kamid ah daawooyin dhaqameedkaas waa kuwo amaan ah oo ufiican
caafimaadkaaga, laakiin qaarkood maaha. Dhakhaatiirta iyo farmashiilayaasha kudhaqanka
dalka Maraykanku waxay kugu dhiirigalinayaan inaad cunto daawooyin dhaqameedka haddii ay
amaan yihiin.
Usheeg dhakharkaaga iyo farmashiilahaaga wixii daawoyin dhaqameed ah ee aad adigga ama
cunugaagu isticmaalaayo. Xaqiiqiyan, waa muhiim inaad daawoyinkaan uqaado marka xigta ee
aad balan laleedahay dhakhtarkaaga.
Halkaan ayaad kahelaysaa sababaha ugu wayn ee ay muhiimka utahay inaad usheegto waxa
aad qaadanayso dhakhtarkaaga ama farmashiilaha:
• Haddii aad cunayso daawooyin laguu qoray, mararka qaar daawooyinka dhaqanka ayaa
carqaladayn kara daawooyinka laguu qoray. Tani waxay keeni kartaa inaad xanuunsato
ama kadhigto daawooyinkaaga kuwo daciif ah.
• Sidoo kale, haddii aad cunto cadad badan oo daawoyinka
dhaqanka ah, basbaaska, toonta ama sanjabiisha sababo laxariira
caafimaadkaaga, tani waxay sidoo kale carqaladayn kartaa
dawooyinka laguu qoray.
• Mararka qaar daawooyinka dhaqanka ayaa leh maadooyin halis
ku ah jirka. Kaliya inay yihiin daawo dabiici ah kama dhigna inay
caafimaad yihiin.
Tusaale, waxaa la ogaaday in daawooyinka budada ah ee laga keeno
dalka Burma ee loo adeegsado dhibaatooyinka caloosha ay kujirto tiro
badan oo sunta macdanka iyo hubka ah. Sunta macdanka iyo hubku
waxay halis kuyihiin jirka. Budooyinka noocaan ah waxay kugu ridi
karaan xanuun waxay si gaar khatar ugu yihiin caruurta.
Haka cabsan inaad usheegto dhakhtarkaaga ama farmashiilaha arintaan. Waxay muhiim utahay
caafimaadkaaga inaad usheegto macluumaadka dhakhtarka.

Using Traditional Medicines
People all around the world – including in the United States –use traditional medicines
to help them when they are not feeling well or to keep themselves healthy.
Examples of these types of traditional medicines are pills, powders, teas or healing
products made from plants or herbs from your home country or that you find here in
the US.
Many of these traditional medicines are safe and are good for your health, but some are
not. Doctors and pharmacists in the United States will encourage you to take traditional
medicines if they are safe.
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about any traditional medicines you or your child may
be using. In fact, it’s a good idea to take these medicines with you to your next doctor
appointment.
Here are the main reasons why it is important to discuss what you are taking with your
doctor or pharmacist:
• If you are taking prescription medications, sometimes traditional medicines
interact with the prescription medication. This can make you sick or can make
your medication weak.
• Also, if you eat large amounts of herbs, spices, garlic or
ginger for your health, this can also interact with your
prescription medications.
• Sometimes traditional medicines have ingredients that
are harmful to the body. Just because they are natural
does not mean they are healthy.
For example, it was discovered that some powders from
Burma that are used for stomach problems had large
amounts of lead and arsenic in them. Lead and arsenic
are very harmful to the body. These types of powders can
make you sick and are especially harmful to children.
Don’t be afraid to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about this. It is important for your
health that you share this information.
