Sustainability Challenges:
Environmental Impact of Conventional Products: Many traditional medicinal and personal care products contribute to environmental pollution through the use of non-biodegradable packaging and synthetic ingredients. This results in significant waste accumulation and environmental degradation.
Access and Usage Disparities: In rural areas, access to effective medicinal products can be limited, leading people to rely on potentially harmful or ineffective local remedies. This lack of access can result in inadequate treatment and ongoing health issues. Even in urban areas, individuals may face challenges in finding and affording high-quality herbal remedies.
Health Concerns: The use of synthetic chemicals and additives in many conventional medicinal products can lead to adverse health effects, including allergic reactions and long-term health issues. There is also a risk of side effects from improper use or low-quality products.
Environmental Impact of Waste Disposal: The disposal of conventional medicinal products and their packaging can contribute to environmental pollution. Non-biodegradable packaging and the improper disposal of unused or expired products can harm ecosystems and wildlife.
