Now-a-days, the use of plastic in our everyday life has gone beyond imagination. Every single day we are exposed to various kinds of plastic and their effects on our body. Recently, a lot of research has been conducted on the bad effects of plastic and it is dreadful to see the effects.

Plastic, at many levels, has replaced glass in the field of medicine. But a very little research has been done on the effects of plastic on the different medicines and their properties.

In Homoeopathy, plastic has replaced glass for dispensing the medicines. But even today, in many parts of the world, Homoeopathic medicines are dispensed in glass bottles, which has been the traditional method of dispensing Homoeopathic medicines.

Homoeopathic medicine has alcohol as the medium of the medicine and it is a well-known fact that plastic reacts with alcohol and leaches out harmful chemicals contaminating the alcohol and thus, the medicine and also, affecting the health of the patients who faithfully take Homoeopathic treatment in a hope of a better health.

There is a known practice countrywide of reusing plastic bottles among the Homoeopathic practitioners. This only intensifies the bad effects of plastic in the patients.

The best replacement of plastic is neutral glass. Glass being neutral to alcohol and chemicals, high temperature resistant recyclable product, should be the first and only choice of medicine dispensing among the Homoeopathic practitioners.
