IT IS VERY INTERESTING THAT THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY EVOLVED FROM PHARMACOLOGY
Is very interesting that petroleum industry evolved from pharmacology- at turn
of century 1900's those adventurers attempting cross country travels in new
fangled internal combustion carriages stopped at pharmacists/chemists to get a
compound mixture derived from coaltar and crude petroleum oils to fuel there
engines. Many remedies and medicines were based in coaltar and peroleum as
Native American cultures had their compound mixtures related to these two
substance properties much as the Germans were using.
The History of pharmacy is the history of compounding. Compounding occurs when
a pharmacist prepares a medication by combining, mixing, or altering two or
more ingredients for a patient based on the receipt of a valid prescription.
For compounding to occur a valid relationship must exist between the
pharmacist-physician-patient. This is known as the compounding “triad”.
Compounding dates back to biblical times. Ointments, balms, perfumes and oils
are examples of compounding often referred to in the bible. The process of
compounding was used to prepare these biblical preparations. In the Catholic
bible the book of Sirach, referring to plants states “By them the physician
heals and takes away pain; the pharmacist makes a mixture from them.”
Compounding was used extensively in ancient times. Plants were the main
ingredients in pharmaceutical mixtures even in modern times. A compounding
pharmacist would take the medicinal plants and make concoctions, decoctions and
extracts.
Compounding is also referred to in the story of the birth of Jesus. One of the
wise men brought the gift of aromatic myrrh to the baby Jesus as a gift made by
a compounding pharmacist. Myrrh is still is used today in compounding, often to
treat inflammation and ulceration of the mouth and throat and pharynx and in
spongy and bleeding gums. Internally, myrrh has been used in chronic cough,
catarrh, and as an expectorant.
