Pollution-related diseases are on the rise and it could generally affect the skin and other outer parts of the body. When chemicals enter our body and stay there for a prolonged period, they could cause other internal problems. How medicine treats this illness due to pollutants and other hazardous elements that we may encounter without or knowledge is quite puzzling.

There sure are therapies and medications into managing the problems that are a direct result of the environmental issue, but it still does not touch upon the root of the physical problem. Treating the source is essential to solving the problem than merely managing it or prolonging it. Integrated medicine has this new approach to do so, but this does not involve working only on the symptoms that are a result of the problems.
