Unless you are hospitalized, or undergo surgery, most of your health care will come in the form of products and preparations from your local pharmacy. You know your doctor’s name, do you know the name of your pharmacist? Those who do are probably customers of an independently owned pharmacy, an overlooked resource for excellent health care.

While all pharmacists have roughly the same training, a pharmacist in a “big box” store often is supervising the work of technicians. While this is an efficient means of dispensing medications, most patients do not interact with the pharmacist and are not able to readily access their knowledge and experience. In some chains, it is easier to get the retail manager to help you with a cold remedy than the pharmacist or pharmacist technician, and a customer would be fortunate if the pharmacy staff offered to check and make sure there were not any adverse reactions between the over the counter medicine and any prescription medications they are taking.

Independent pharmacies are typically owned and operated by the same person. Running an independent pharmacy is challenging, but most would tell you that they got into the business to care for people, not just dispense medicine. Independent pharmacists take on the extra burden because they want to provide an extra measure of care than what they can do as a managing pharmacist in a large chain.

I do know the name of my pharmacist, by the way, and like my doctor he knows I am married, work as a webmaster and go to church regularly. I know that if I have a health question I can call him and ask and he cares enough to listen carefully. My pharmacist knows everything you need to know about medicine, but as an experienced health care provider he is familiar with a wide variety of helpful treatments for illnesses or injuries that may not merit a visit to a doctor. A good pharmacist can help with sprains and bruises, with splints and supports. Discuss unexpected fevers or unfamiliar rashes with your pharmacist and they will likely know exactly what to do. Many carry products that make life easier when caring for an aging parent, or can offer counsel on managing chronic illnesses like Diabetes.

Independent pharmacies run by an owner often do specialty work such as compounding. A compounding pharmacist can customize the dosage or delivery method of medications for patients. Women needing hormone replacement therapy often benefit from carefully tailored dosages made possible by compounding pharmacists. Other services include counseling to find better medications for patients who look for a more effective remedy or seek a less expensive alternative to their prescription. In many states, a pharmacist can provide flu and pneumonia shots as well as travel vaccinations for your overseas trip. Your community pharmacist is often a great resource for vitamins, minerals and herbal preparations.

To take full advantage of your pharmacist as a member of your health care team, visit and ask to meet him or her. Talk with them about your health concerns. Pharmacists, like doctors, are bound to treat your personal health information with complete confidence. You can find an independent pharmacy in your neighborhood by running an internet search for pharmacy and your city name.

Among the chain pharmacy links you’ll see names like “William’s Apocathary” or “Clayton Pharmacy”. Pharmacy franchises like Medicine Shoppe http://www.medicineshoppe.com or Medicap Pharmacy http://www.medicap.com are independently owned and provide a locator on their website.

It is one thing to have several doctors representing a number of specialties, but having many pharmacies can be risky, as drug interactions are a real danger. Having all your prescriptions with one pharmacy provides an extra measure of safety. Once you find a pharmacist you are comfortable with, bring in your medications so he or she can review them. You’ll be glad to have this very important health care relationship, and you’ll be healthier, too.

For pharmacists who are waiting for their Commissioned Corps call to active duty right now, an option available to you is working temporary pharmacist assignments through a pharmacist staffing agency that offers Indian Health Service assignments. This gives you the opportunity to work in the IHS setting without losing out on experience and making money, while waiting for your bureaucratic paperwork to come through.

If you are recently retired from the Indian Health Service and wanting to do some relief work, travel assignments can be a great way for you to stay connected with the IHS, make money to supplement your retirement, and work when you want to.

If you are currently working for a relief agency and working in the IHS setting, but want to have more desirable work environments and locations to choose from, do research on how you can get the opportunity to do IHS assignments in desirable settings.

If you have worked for the Indian Health Service at some point in time, whether as a pharmacist or had exposure as a JRCOSTEP or during a rotation, doing contract pharmacist work in between jobs or as a career can be options to consider. One IHS-experienced pharmacist, for example, was most recently working for the Veteran’s Affairs as a full-time clinical pharmacist. In between transitioning from the VA to her next job, she explored different parts of the country such as Alaska and Arizona and covered for IHS/tribal pharmacies, before settling in a permanent position. It offered her the opportunity to bridge her recent job with her next career move, by allowing her time to think about what she wanted to do. She was able to use her clinical knowledge while serving Native American patients, and make money in the interim. Other pharmacists step into temp pharmacist work with the Indian Health Service as an interim plan, but then eventually continue contracting for the flexibility and rewarding practice opportunity it offers.

When selecting a relief agency to connect you with Indian Health Service travel assignments, see if the company specializes in Indian Health Service and in pharmacy. Some companies offer temporary pharmacist opportunities, but do not offer a variety of IHS assignments to choose from. This means that they may not have as good connections that will result in options to choose from.

Find out how they select the IHS sites they work with. Some agencies will send relief pharmacists to work at any site that has a need, whether or not the work environment is desirable.

Also, ask the temporary pharmacist staffing company whether they have minimum length assignment requirements. Some companies require minimum of 13-week assignments with no flexibility. Others are open to you completing variable length assignments, accomodating your schedule needs.

Find out what the staffing company does to address what’s important to you and meet those needs of yours before, during, and after the assignment. This is where many relief agencies differ. Some make it a point to make you a priority. Others are focused on getting you to take any assignment they have an opening in, and may not give you the level of service you deserve.

The pharmacists who find the most joy working Indian Health Service travel assignments are ones who are adaptable, have an interest in Native American culture, and appreciate working in an ambulatory care setting in close collaboration with providers.

If you are either recently retired from Indian Health Service, are in the process of waiting for Commissioned Corps call to active duty, or have experience or interest working in the IHS setting as a relief pharmacist, do some research to find out options available to you.

Humankind had to observe nature closely to learn how to survive and take care of their basic needs, health being a basic need. They observed animals to see what plants they ate and watched their behavior. They would have had to learn by trial and error what plants they could eat to cure a stomachache, which plants could be used to heal a cut or burn and which plants to avoid. We now reach in our cupboards and open a bottle to take a vitamin or herbal supplement whereas early man had to hunt and gather and experiment to figure out what worked.

In the past almost all medicines were herbs. The very common little white tablet we now know as aspirin has as its main ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid, which is derived from the bark of a willow tree. Oral decongestants that don’t make you sleepy contain pseudoephedrine, which is made from the ephedra plant. At least one-fourth of the prescription drugs prescribed by doctors contain active ingredients derived or synthesized from herbal plants, says Norman R. Farnsworth, Ph.D, Director of the Center for Botanical Dietary Supplements Research, University of Illinois, Chicago College of Pharmacy.

History of Herbal Medicine

The primitive discoveries were eventually systematized in ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt and China. Different cultures would catalog and preserve their knowledge of herbal remedies. In ancient Egypt, the Papyrus Ebers was written around 1550 B.C., and is one of the two oldest, medical, preserved documents. It is 110 pages (scrolls) written about ancient Egyptian medicine. It lists aloe vera as a remedy for cuts and burns. It lists mint as an aid to digestion and soothes flatulence. Did you ever wonder why they have dinner mints? Basil is listed as excellent for the heart.

Herbal remedies continued for centuries. Modern science and chemistry introduced the ability for scientists and doctors to isolate the active ingredients from herbs and produce a faster-acting medicine. Late 19th century, herbal remedies were considered old fashioned. While dosages of medicine were standardized with synthesized drugs, herbal medicine required guesswork for dosage administration.

Some practitioners continued to administer herbal remedies, homeopaths, osteopaths, chiropractors, hydratherapists as well as a group who combined European herbal traditions with Native American tradition.

Now in the 21st century, with the rising costs of healthcare, the billion Complementary & Alternative Medicine Industry and the .9 million practitioner supplements market are attracting more and more consumers. They are seeking traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, ayurveda, naturopathy, as well as those listed above according to the Nutrition Business Journal.
Interesting Fact

Herbs are very adaptable. As a general rule, an herb garden requires less attention than a vegetable garden. Most herbs thrive in the sun, with six to eight hours of exposure being the ideal.

Back to Nature?

Why do people gravitate towards herbal medicine?

* self-care and disease prevention are a major factor in choosing herbal remedies
* back to nature philosophy about life in general, choosing to find the simple cures that have been known to man for centuries
* rising health care costs that often steer people towards herbs
* used in replacement of potent prescription drugs to reduce their powerful side effects

Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist and author of Herbal Healing for Women states that, “unlike antibiotics, herbs can be used to treat infections, both viral and bacterial.” As with any health related issue, a doctor should be consulted before considering herbal remedies in place of any medicine that has been prescribed. On every office visit, my doctor updates any medication I’m taking (thankfully, none), as well as all vitamins and herbal supplements.  It’s very important that it is documented on a patients records in order to discover any possible interactions that could occur. If your doctor doesn’t do this, ask why, because it should be updated each time you have an office visit. If ever in doubt about an herb you may want to try, consult your doctor first!

Educate Yourself and Always Consult a Professional First

Herbal remedies have been around for centuries and will continue to be popular as our world progresses in technology and scientific discovery. We are first and foremost responsible for our own health. There has been recent research done in conjunction with heart disease patients and certain herbs. According to the Mayo Clinic in an article dated Feb. 1, 2010, there are three popular herbs that can be dangerous while taking heart medication drugs.

* St. Johns Wort (taken for depression, anxiety) reduces the effectiveness of medications.
* Ginkgo Biloba (taken to sharpen memory, increase circulation) increases bleeding risk in those taking wayfarin or aspirin
* Garlic (taken to boost immune system and lower cholestorol) can increase bleeding with those taking wayfarin health.

Always consult with a physician first, as our primary goal with supplements and herbal remedies is to increase our health and well being. I hope this article has been of help to you, the reader, and helps to bring more awareness concerning the use of herbal remedies.

Consumers in United States often pay astronomical prices for medication as compared to the consumers in other countries and some consumers prefer to purchase medicines online, even at a higher cost because of the issues such as depression, hair loss, or erectile dysfunction.

Infact, many people are really amazed at the proportion of people who are eager to exchange drug safety for the perceived benefits of buying medicines from Online pharmacies, such as convenience, discounts offered, etc.

Many times it is even possible to save money while purchasing medicines from a major US Pharmacy, if the consumer has the prescription issued to him by the doctor in person. In case one does not know that he would be getting the actual medication that was prescribed to him then in that case he should give more priority to safety rather than price.

If the consumer does not know that whether he will be receiving the actual medication that was prescribed to him or not, then he must put safety ahead of price and if one is not sure that whether he should get a prescription drug online or not then also he should play safe and should take the advice of any medical practitioner in that case.
