Ancient Elixirs to Modern Healing

The line between poison and medicine is often a fine one. Throughout history, humans have harnessed the potent forces of nature, transforming what can kill into what can cure. This paradoxical relationship between toxicity and healing underscores much of traditional and modern pharmacology. 

Poisson derives its name as a homage to the alchemical art of turning natural plants into poison & elixirs with life saving properties.

Let's explore the pivotal moments in history where humanity harnessed the dual natural of botanicals to foster healing & innovation! 

The journey begins in Ancient Greece, where Hippocrates, the father of medicine, first cataloged the healing properties of willow bark, a natural source of what would become aspirin. Even then, the Greeks were aware of the fine balance between cure and poison, a concept encapsulated in the phrase "the dose makes the poison."

As trade routes like the Silk Road expanded, so did the exchange of medicinal knowledge. The traders brought back not just silk and spices but also tales of exotic poisons used by distant civilizations, some of which held the secret to unparalleled medical remedies. Among these was the story of the Chinese using arsenic, a known poison, in small doses to treat syphilis and psoriasis.

The discovery of the New World brought European settlers face to face with the potent botanicals of the Americas. They learned from Indigenous peoples about the curare vine, whose lethal poison, when administered correctly, could relax muscles for surgeries. This period marked the beginning of understanding the complexity of natural compounds.

The Birth of Pharmacology: 1800s

The 19th century witnessed the birth of pharmacology, a science that owes its existence to the age-old practice of studying poisons. Scientists began isolating active ingredients from plants, transforming them into the first modern medicines. The foxglove plant, once a deadly heart poison, gave rise to digitalis, a lifesaver for heart patients. For example, Willow Bark (Salix alba): Used since 400 B.C. for pain relief, it wasn’t until the 18th century that scientists began to isolate what would become aspirin.

Modern Miracles: 20th Century Onwards

The 20th century and beyond have seen the advent of revolutionary drugs derived from historical poisons. The Pacific yew tree, once considered a toxic hazard, yielded Taxol, a chemotherapy drug. This era has been defined by our ability to delve deeper into the molecular heart of nature's poisons, unlocking their healing potential.
