Aspect of Ecology in Mainstream Natural: Traditional Medicine

Abstract

The article presents several types of traditional medicine: Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Unani medicine, Tibetan medicine and herbal medicine. Attention has been given to the context of ecology and ecosystem and how some flora and fauna properties are used. Traditional medicine largely uses medicinal plants which in many communities are the main treatment and source of disease prevention. Taking into account the increased use of drugs - the widespread amount of pharmaceuticals in pharmacies and their frequent overuse, many people are now deciding to look for the source of the disease and not to use the same and often more powerful medical agents. The article focuses on traditional medicine and its approach to treatment, as well as the extent to which man affects ecosystems and biodiversity for the sake of human health and well-being. One of the important occurrances of recent years has become an awareness of the growing ecological threat caused by the human economy. A man striving to satisfy his needs for consumerism has caused an avalanche of problems related to fauna and flora. In recent years, awareness has increased and there has been a trend to return to the natural treatments and way of life.
