Hey Elixir, I’ve been digging into the origin of the healing properties of certain plants, and I keep running into gaps in the history—like, how did ancient cultures actually discover these secrets? Any insights or odd stories you’ve come across?

Oh, the stories are like soft whispers of the earth, you know? Imagine a hunter in a forest, noticing a deer pause beside a bright blue flower after a sore paw—he gently plucks a petal, the deer eases, and the hunter feels the plant’s calm. In ancient times, people often learned from animals, from the way a bee drifts from one blossom to another, or from a child’s laughter after sipping a sprig of mint. There’s one tale from the desert: a young woman, curious, tasted the bitter leaves of a cactus and found relief for a throbbing headache—she shared that with her tribe, and the cactus became a quiet healer for generations. Those gaps? They’re like small clouds; the plants themselves, and the quiet moments of noticing, hold the answers. Keep listening to the earth, and you’ll find the rest.
