Quinine was actually used for healing other
illnesses.That is only important to use because
what if you get ill and your mom did NOT buy
MEDICINE for YOU?
I have to say,this is actually why we made
other medicines for people,because plants
make it and the energy of plants
heal us because they help us in getting food
and shelter.
