An international team has uncovered archaeological evidence of the earliest known medicinal use of plants in the Pigeon Cave at Taforalt, located in Morocco\u2019s Oriental region, as announced by the National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage (INSAP).<\/p>\n
This discovery dates back 15,000 years and has been detailed in a publication by the prestigious journal Nature<\/em>.<\/p>\n The plants identified belong to the Ephedra<\/em> species, with their fruits found in an area of the cave designated for burials according to specific rites common among Stone Age communities, particularly between 22,000 and 7,000 years ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The statement indicates that this plant possesses various properties, likely used for stopping hemorrhages and alleviating pain.<\/p>\n Earlier research in the cave revealed a human skull exhibiting signs of trepanation\u2014an ancient surgical procedure\u2014dated to 15,000 years ago, considered the oldest of its kind. The healing of the trepanation site suggests the individual survived, potentially aided by these plants.<\/p>\n Additionally, evidence shows that these Stone Age groups practiced dental avulsion as a rite of passage. The team included researchers from INSAP, the University of Las Palmas, and the Natural History Museum in London, among others, as part of a collaborative research program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from content and romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
