Very good questions that, unfortunately, I don't have answers to. But I like the idea of a handbook was called that because you needed your hand servants to carry it around for you. Just as amazing in that handbook, by the way, was his instructions to use cold water instead of hot water to extract the active ingredient, which helps preserve the chemical. So he was like really onto something.

This dude was making cold brew almost 2,000 years ago. So take that, Starbucks.

Actually, okay, that's where skeptics of herbal medicine point out that in drinking the Artemisia tea, the chemical is eliminated just too quickly from the body. And therefore, the original treatment, as it was written about, only led to a temporary reduction in symptoms. The old treatment just reduced fever.

The new treatment, which exists now, which combines the Artemisia with modern medicine, created a sturdy, stable drug that actually knocks out malaria.

Right, which is why I say that there is a there there with herbal medicine. Plants have been running trial and error experiments and tinkering with chemistry for 500 million years. Some people say Aristotle was the first scientist, but I say plants were the first scientists. And people will accuse you of being on certain psychedelic plants for that opinion, for sure.

That is probably true, but 25% of drugs we use today are either directly from plants or modified versions of molecules we find in plants. So Chinese herbal medicine is kind of real? Kind of. Like with all things, knowledge is built on previous discoveries. So for my money, I'm going with the latest knowledge. I think that's way smarter than putting your health in the hands of ancient knowledge.
