I have learned a great deal about survival and collaborating with nature by watching the Naked and Afraid Series on the Discovery Channel. The very first (and often repeated) lesson I learned is that men are serious crybabies and quitters. Women, on the other hand, are tough as shoe leather.
On a recent episode, I learned about
the remarkable benefits gained by inhaling the smoke from elephant dung. Apparently, the smoke will cure a headache,
ease the pain of a toothache, eliminate hunger pangs, and can stop nose bleeds
and unblock sinuses.
That’s a lot of good from a pile
of poop.
The medicinal properties of
elephant poo are a result of the wide variety of medicinal plants ingested by
elephants as they forage for food.
Would I try smoking poo?
That’s going to take a pretty
big headache.
