An Oxford University study indicates sick and injured chimpanzees self-medicate by eating medicinal plants and rubbing on their wounds. Here's what we know:
Lab tests done on the chimps' medicinal plants indicate the vast majority of them are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Researchers say watching the chimps will help us discover new medicines of the future
Scientists admit the chimps know the forest better than we do
Apparently, the chimps know which plants help them get better
In one study they tracked a chimp with an injured hand travel extensively to find and eat a fern, which turned out to be anti-inflammatory and reduced pain and swelling
Scientists believe this high-level knowledge of medicinal plant benefits is socially shared among chimps and could lead to benefits for humans
Soon we may be hearing..."Dr. Chimp will see you now."
