Everything we make is made from Earth, so why are medications looked at as low vibration in much of the spiritual community? They may be chemicals that cause many reactions, but straight up herbs can cause reactions too. I think for some issues herbs should be tried first because they have less side effects, but for example, I haven't found anything as effective at treating my period cramps as I have with ibuprofen, and having stopped an antidepressant that helped with anxiety a month ago, and suddenly having a huge uptick in anxiety are not coincidences.
Our healthcare system is beyond messed up. I will agree on that for as long as it remains the way it is, but I feel modern science and ancient naturopathy can coexist symbiotically, just as questioning life with the scientific method and questioning life through a spiritual lense are both valid.
I also have loved ones on both ends of that spectrum: meds only or naturopathy only. And that's okay too. Whatever works for the individual is exactly what they need. We are all different, so our needs are all different.
I believe that before I incarnated into this body, I decided anxiety was going to be a part of my life, for many reasons I won't get into here. Part of that path is what the anxiety teaches me as a human and as a soul, and also learning how to work with what comes from Earth and my physical body to overcome that anxiety whenever it arises.
Maybe someday my mind will change again. For now, this is what I believe, and that is the beauty of life: to grow and learn and come to various conclusions based on our experiences and observations.
