ecological medicine

Ecological medicine is an approach that recognizes how human health is interconnected with the environment. It emphasizes understanding how environmental factors—like pollution, climate change, and exposure to chemicals—impact our well-being. By addressing environmental issues and promoting sustainable practices, ecological medicine aims to prevent and treat health problems more effectively. It encourages integrating ecological awareness into medical research, diagnosis, and treatment, fostering a holistic view of health that considers both individual biology and the health of our planet. This approach supports healthier communities and ecosystems, leading to improved overall well-being for humans and the environment alike.
