Medicine Frontier:Tele - Med: Healing Power from the Desert —— Secrets of Bushmen
Nearly everyone heard of devil’s claw--It not only reduces pain but also rebuilds cartilage. Because of its golden-brown root, devil’s claw is known as “Namibia’s gold”. Demand for this plant has soared ever since it became known that devil’s claw can reduce the pain from arthritis by sixty percent. Another plant hoodia, allegedly has appetite-inhibiting properties. Even today Bushmen out hunting for days on end use hoodia to suppress hunger and thirst. With stands in the wild diminishing, attempts are being made to cultivate these plants.
