What is Ecological Medicine?

It's not just natural remedies. Our well being is inextricably linked to the health of the world around us.

That world is getting increasingly polluted. Everyday products from cosmetics to toys contain thousands of industrial chemicals that leach into the environment and our bodies. A growing body of scientific evidence is now linking low levels of these chemicals to cancer, diabetes, birth defects and other problems.

The good news is that the more we know, the more we can change. And a good place to start is Ecological Medicine: Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves, edited by Bioneers co-founder Kenny Ausubel with J.P. Harpignies. This collection of essays by presenters at Bioneers conferences points the way toward healing ourselves, our community and our world.

"Ecological medicine is a unifying field that embodies the recognition that human and environmental health are inseparable," Ausubel writes in Ecological Medicine.
