This is always so fascinating! I had read another article not too long ago about an orangutan in the wild that was observed making a sort of poultice from chewed leaves to put on an open wound on its face. I guess it was the first time that orangutans were seen treating themselves with medicinal plants. Here’s BBC’s article on it.

Everything about medicinal plants.
Be kind to each other.
What plants do you keep in your medicine cabinet? What makes you feel better when you are down? Share your knowledge!
Suggestion: One post per plant, one post per health problem.
Why? If we collect all information related to one plant in a post finding info and possibly transferring it to a wiki will be made easier later.
I wouldn't want to limit anything you would like to post though, so just go ahead! :-)
More mods welcome!

Lovely article, great you thought of sharing it. Herbalism is a quite recent thing for me tbh. It's like a hole new world to me, even tho I know it's a super old one.
