Correct :yesnod:.

There's been some interesting suggestions in this thread.. it's quite surprising how many plants (or at least plant based products) are used every day in medicine and general society with little consideration to where it comes from.. another one that springs to mind is:

The Willow Tree (salix genus)



Quote:

The leaves and bark of the willow tree have been mentioned in ancient texts from Assyria, Sumer and Egypt[13] as a remedy for aches and fever,[14] and the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about its medicinal properties in the fifth century BC. Native Americans across the Americas relied on it as a staple of their medical treatments. It temporarily relieves headache, stomachache, and other body pain. Salicin is metabolized into salicylic acid in the human body, and is a precursor of aspirin.




Keep 'em coming :hippie:.

I thought they were algae-related.  Source?

Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order:
1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine
2)Amanita (urine drank twice)
3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose)
4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators)
5)Salvia (need to try quid)


All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental.

Blessing.

Algae is still not a plant, its a single celled organism, ya nub.

How would humanity have survived had Hops not been around to preserve our beer on trips to India!?

More seriously,
Has anyone mentioned the Tea tree?
Its a great antibacterial/antiseptic and antifungal.
