The Healing Power of Plants<br />
by Meryl McArthur<br />
Crystal Cave, Winchester<br />
Ayahuasca a spiritually<br />
medicinal plant<br />
For thousands of years, Indigenous people have made<br />
extensive use of the materials contained in the Rainforest<br />
to meet their health needs.<br />
Forest dwellers in Southeast Asia, for example, use around<br />
6,500 different plants to treat their ills. Shamans were the<br />
first medical specialists in indigenous communities and their<br />
traditional methods are known to be effective in treating<br />
both physical and psychological ailments.<br />
The World Health Organisation estimates that 80 per cent<br />
of the people in developing countries still rely on traditional<br />
medicine for their primary health care needs. Without<br />
money, access to, or faith in modern facilities, Indigenous<br />
people depend on Shamans, herbal healers, and rainforest<br />
plants for their survival.<br />
Shamans also play a crucial role in helping scientists to<br />
discover the potential of plants. As one scientist said, “Each<br />
time a medicine man dies, it is as if a library has been<br />
burned down”. There is much yet to be learned from local<br />
Shamans, yet their individual and cultural survival is<br />
seriously threatened by modern loggers, miners,<br />
multinational corporations, and landless farmers invading<br />
and decimating the Rain Forest.<br />
