What is there in a rainforest that can heal you?
Dragons blood made from herein made from sap
Healing a wound or cut with dragon’s blood is very easy and very effective. You simply apply the sap over the wound or cut and gently rub it on the skin. After a few seconds you will feel how the organic substance turns into a white latex layer covering the area and protecting it. A few more seconds and the “bandage” will dry and your cut will heal 4 times faster then any other substance in the jungle. |
Quinine- an aid in the cure of malaria, is an alkaloid extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree.
Finally, rainforest plants provide aids for research. Certain plant compounds enable scientists to understand how cancer cells grow, while others serve as testing agents for potentially harmful food and drug products. Tropical forests offer hope for safer contraceptives for both women and men. The exponential growth of world population clearly demonstrates the need for more reliable and effective birth control methods. Worldwide, approximately 4,000 plant species have been shown to offer different possibilities. The rainforest also holds secrets for safer pesticides for farmers. Two species of potatoes have leaves that produce a sticky substance that traps and kills predatory insects. This natural self-defense mechanism could potentially reduce the need for using pesticides on potatoes. |
how can you make weapons?
You can make knives use stones, bones, or wood.
To make it out of wood, you should use bamboo. Bamboo is the only wood that will be sharp enough. To make a knife using wood, first select a straight-grained piece of wood that is about 30 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Make the blade about 15 centimeters long. Use only the straight-grained portions of the wood. Harden the point by a process known as fire hardening. If using bamboo and after fashioning the blade, remove any other wood to make the blade thinner from the inside portion of the bamboo. Removal is done this way because bamboo's hardest part is its outer layer. When charring bamboo over a fire, char only the inside wood; do not char the outside. |
