Actually, most burned herbs actually started by people chewing them.. Back in the 1700s and 1800s, Tobacco leaves were very commonly chewed for their energy and appetite suppression (while people were in the fields working, so they didn't have to come in as early).. There were a number of drugs that started out that way including Opium (chewing/eating poppy seeds)..Health Question & Answer

Doubtful you can claim that one as your own......2) People learned a LOT from watching animals and insects.. 3) Some plants literally advertise their effects and uses, you just have to know how to look and to listen.. 4) There is always the old method of "Try it and see what it does......" This is called "proving a remedy", and it's a method that's been used by humans before the beginning of recorded time.. also, imagine there's a forest fire, and you inhale the smoke......what happens next.? Not such a mystery after all, is it.? Or imagine you're out in the forest watching all the animals, and taking careful note of them and all they do.. Not such a mystery now again, is it.?
