Environment, conventional and herbal medicine

Relationship between environment and medicine

What has medicine to do with the environment? Well, for one, not a few people have to go on long term medications. However, pharmacies will never dispense, say, a whole year of the required medications. Reasons are simple. They are afraid of misuse and overdose, leading to problems. Another is most medicine have a shelf life. They don't last forever. In other words, they have expiry dates.

Bricks and Mortar Pharmacies and the environment

What this lead to is multiple trips (traveling) to the bricks and mortar pharmacies. Directly or indirectly, this will involve burning of rapidly depleting and increasingly expensive fossil fuel, emitting green house gases (click BACK button to get back to this page) and making our environmental problem of the century, global warming (click BACK button to get back to this page) worst.

Also, conventional medicine often uses synthetic chemicals and complex processes which may lead to discharge of pollutants or harmful pollution when they are discharged from our bodies or are left overs or expired medicines are discarded.
