An Orangutan Uses Plant Medicine

Have you seen this fascinating story about an orangutan using leaves to heal a wound? It’s beautiful to see the connections and know they have a deep sense of plant medicine. The leaves of this particular liana vine are rarely used by orangutans, yet they were chosen and specifically applied to the wound, and also eaten. It’s sometimes more effective if we can use the medicine both inside and out.
