We are thrilled to share a fascinating discovery that connects the healing wisdom of nature with modern medical advancements. A recent study(1) highlighted by BBC reveals that an orangutan in Borneo used a specific medicinal plant to treat a facial wound. This remarkable behavior showcases the incredible intelligence of these creatures and underscores the efficacy of natural remedies.
According to the study(2), orangutans have been observed using leaves from the Akar Kuning plant, which possess powerful healing properties. This plant contains Fibraurea tinctoria, a bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, aiding the orangutan to treat his wound effectively.
What makes this discovery even more exciting is the fact that berberine, the active ingredient found in Akar Kuning, is a key component in FloraSeptic Wound Gel(3). At FloraSeptic, we have long understood the synergy of nature and science, and this revelation from the wild only strengthens our commitment to using the highest quality botanical derivatives in all our products.
This alignment with nature enhances the efficacy of FloraSeptic but also emphasizes our dedication to sustainability and respect for the environment. As we continue to innovate and develop new products, we remain inspired by the wisdom found in nature. The orangutans' use of Akar Kuning is a testament to the incredible potential of FloraSeptic in wound healing.
Stay connected with us for more updates on how we integrate nature’s best into our products to bring you safe, effective, and environmentally friendly solutions.
