So, whenever I come across some ancient "natural remedy" or a plant that's supposedly going to cure my migraine or some random chronic pain, my first thought? SCAM ALERT. Seriously, who else hears "natural cure" and thinks, "Oh yeah, sure, like that’s gonna work"?
Like, back in the day, who was even doing the quality control on this stuff? Was there some ancient FDA that I didn’t learn about in history class? I bet there were a few smart folks who actually figured out some good treatments, but then you know there were also those who were just winging it. "Oh, this leaf looks cool, let’s say it cures headaches." And people were probably like, "Yeah, totally makes sense."
Maybe half of those "cures" didn’t do squat, and the only reason anyone felt better was because, well, time passed and the body did its thing.
Look, I know I’m talking out of my you-know-what here. I’m too lazy and way too busy to deep-dive into whether any of this stuff actually works. But it’s a thought that’s been hanging out in my brain for a while.
It’s probably just me being clueless, like most people, because I haven’t exactly done the homework on this. I’m just out here throwing shade from the sidelines. ✌️
