Huh. So some of the ancient Mayans that survived the selections for human sacrifice might have died of cancer.
Who knew?

My guess is this was some kind of ‘medicine’, quite possibly a ‘purgative’.....................

I bet if I clean out my medicine cabinet I'll find a whole lot of ancient drug containers.

I grow Mexican Marigold and other herbs alongside my veggies-it is not menthol-it has a Tarragon flavor-Tarragon does not grow all that well here-the Mexican Marigold does-I use it fresh fresh in any dish that calls for Tarragon-especially good with fresh green beans...

Mexican Marigold is grown and used by just about everyone around here as a culinary herb and ornamental plant-it adds the same flavor as Tarragon to dishes...

Not menthol-menthol (to paraphrase Whoopi-Whoopi) but the same function as menthol, to lower the harshness of the tobacco smoke.
Still, good to know, I may try growing some here in the high desert.

I don’t know how well it will do in that environment-but if you plant it in good soil away from a Western exposure-but plenty of sunshine-and water it every day a bit in Summer, it will probably do okay-it does freeze as soon as the temp goes into the high 20’s, so if you want to have it to use in food all year, put it in a really big pot and greenhouse it in Winter. It blooms in September here-pretty little orange flowers...

As an amateur ethnobotanist, I have been convinced for
many years that the many flowers and plants worn and carved on Mayan stele are not there just because they were pretty
but because of their use and effects.

The blue lotus is a popular motif in Egyptian texts and architecture.
It was used to treat erectile disfunction.
Which may have something to do with why the ‘little blue pill’ is blue!
