When Nature Is Your Only Pharmacy

In this video, we collect the ingredients for a traditional Marquesan medicine that people still use to this day. Tanguy takes us through Hakaui Valley to find medicinal plants before showing how the medicine is prepared using traditional ways. On the way, we stop at Vaipo, the highest waterfall in French Polynesia and share stories about life on one of the most remote inhabited islands in the South Pacific. For us, this story is not just about medicine, but about knowledge that survives because people continue passing it on from one generation to the next. 🌴 More from us: Ana wrote a book about how our story started: https://cannibal-art.com/collections/... 🌍 Free worldwide shipping (print and digital editions) ▪️ Hand-carved Marquesan art: https://cannibal-art.com ▪️ Find us on Facebook:   / cannibal.art.marquesas   ▪️ Find us on Instagram:   / cannibal.art.marquesas   If you enjoy authentic documentaries, remote island life, traditional craftsmanship, and simple living, subscribe and follow our journey. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 – Why Traditional Medicine Still Matters Here 01:29 – Searching for Medicinal Plants 04:30 – Collecting Ingredients in the Valley 10:17 – Vaipo Waterfall, the Highest in French Polynesia 11:08 – Do You Still See Tiki as a God? 11:30 – Traditional Knowledge Passed Through Generations 12:20 – Making and Drinking the Medicine 14:27 – Final Thoughts
