@drterrysimpson: The Giant Reed produces the alkaloid gramine, which is toxic to many animals, including several insects which might otherwise use the reed as a food plant. During efforts in the 1930s to investigate gramine as a pesticide, a researcher accidentally made it in a slightly different molecular configuration; upon testing a small quantity on his tongue, he found it had an anaesthetic effect. Further work led to the development of the anaesthetic Lidocaine. Lidocaine is still used today, and is now synthesised artificially. However, the plant has numerous other uses. Because of its fast growth it is often used as fuel for electricity production, and its straight stems can be used in construction. #anesthesia #lidocaine #lidocaineblock #anesthesiologist #anesthesiatiktok #plants #hearthealth #heart #weightlosscheck #diabetes #digestivehealth #bowelmovement #guthealth #guts #guttok #plant #plants #plantsoftiktok #plantbased #planttiktok #PlantTok #plantlover #medicinalplants #medicineplants #physics #physicstok #physicsfun #chelseaphysicgarden #garden #gardentok #gardensoftiktok #gardeningtips #garden #healthy #story #time #storytime #storytimes #storytelling #twist #wild #old #operating #theater #theatre #doctorstory #doc #doctor #doctorsoftiktok #doctors #surgeon #surgeons #surgeonsoftiktok #history #historytime #historytok #historybuff #historytiktok #historylesson #historyfacts #medical #medicaltiktok #medicalschool #medicalmystery #medicalstory #medicinestudent #medicinetiktok #London #tiktoklondon #londonlife #LearnOnTikTok #londonlife #londonmuseums #visitlondon #londonvisit #oldoperatingtheatre #operatingtheatre #museums #medicalmuseum #medicalhistory #historyofmedicine #md #dr #drvisits #learn #learnontiktok #learnwithtiktok #learnfromme #leagueoflegends #education #educational #educationalpurposes #educate #weightloss #explained - #mediterraneandiet #mediterranean #diet #bestdiet #lifestylechange #diets #food #eating #weightloss #weightlosscheck #weightlosstransformation #weightlossprogress #weightlossmotivation #weightlosschallenge #weightlosssurgery #weightlossfood #weightlossgoals #bellyfat #fat #loseweightwithme #health #wellness #wellnesstips #doctor #doctorsoftiktok #doctors #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #healthycooking #healthcare #healthheroes #eatwithme @LONDON #travel #traveltiktok #travellife #travelbucketlist #traveltok #traveling #traveltips #travelnurse #traveldoctor #traveldiaries #drvisit #fieldtrip #tiktok #fyp #foryou #wanderlust #travelinsurance #travelhealth #travelmedicine

As soon as natural treatments like aspirin or penicillin are proven, scammers pretend they aren't "natural" anymore. Thanks for reminding us 👍

I was given lidocaine for a cystoscopy and either the doctor didn't give me enough or my body is immune because that procedure hurt bad!

Very interesting, is it still obtained from this plant or do they now make it in the lab?

Interesting fact; lidocaine doesn’t work for my daughter. The dentist said he gave enough to numb a 200 lb man and she still felt everything. Now he
