RE: From The Jungle To Your Home - The Discovery Of A Fictional Drug

in #steemstem7 years ago

It is very often, when you go to any tribe or village, you will always find such things. And they are using these medications (herbs and roots) for years and they work. All these informations are inherited through generations. If you go into details of such herbs you may end up with some new enzymes or some modified ones, and that could help to cure some diseases which are still not curable.

Thank you very much for actually reading the post and the upvote! Also thank you very much for your continuous support and your thoughtful comments @vinamra! Yes, I have read this book called "Surviving The Extremes" and a doctor who travelled to the Amazon was talking about the potential some of the plants natives of the jungle use in the discovery of new drugs. It seems like this approach is getting more popular and we really need new drugs (especially antibiotics). Cheers!
