Ethnic Pharmacology
Ethnic pharmacology is the field of study that investigates the impact that culture, environment, genetics, biophysiology (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics) and psychosocial factors have on the prescribing and metabolism of, and response to medications.

Ethnopharmacology
Ethnopharmacology is the combining the approaches of medical anthropology, phytotherapy, and pharmaceutical science. This discipline examines medicinal plants in indigenous cultures, their bioactive compounds, and the sustainable development and production of nature-derived therapeutics.
