Warfare may have helped. When you see often enough some injuries and how people recover (or not) from them, some may see patterns and intuit recovery mechanism:
- Injuries to the lungs aren't always fatal but patients tend to have lasting breathing problems.
- Liver injuries... hmmm, make your eyes turn yellowish, and it seems like those who come from the region where they drink hot water with some plant inside tend to fare better than those who don't, and if you survive, eyes return to normal and you can make a full recovery.
- mohaba 3y agoTo me, it is clear you are referencing jaundice for the second one, but I am not sure what plants are good for that.
- sincerely 3y agoI think they're talking about coffee, iirc there are some studies that show it helps with liver cirrhosis which can cause jaundice
- hcarvalhoalves 3y agoPlectranthus barbatus
- astrange 3y agoMilk thistle is the historical one. NAC is the modern one.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoMilk thistle supplements are popular for liver health.
- marci 3y agoIt was more a referende to the act of boiling water. The observer at that point might not yet know if it's just a correlation or not. Just gathering information.
