As we develop more sophisticated tools to measure and monitor health and tissue function we tend to discard traditional medicines as a source of innovation. We discount experience and because they are discussed in simple language it is common to discount their value. However, the rich history of experience can be a poignant and directed teacher. Using examples of personal research on South American traditional botanicals when evaluated with modern sophisticated techniques (epigenetics, metabolomics, disease models) one can not only decipher how the traditional medicines offer benefit and the molecular basis for the traditional use, but insight can be drawn for new applications and synergism with other natural products or nutritionals. Examples to be discussed include, fertility, fish farming, inflammation, arthritis, cartilage repair, nausea and GI disorders and itch/skin disorders.
