Ancient Roots Modern Medicine
Borderlands: USA/México
Venture to the US/México border, where people have been using medicinal plants for thousands of
years and continue today. It is a land of cacti, intense sun, and curanderos - those who heal with
desert roots and herbs. Now, American scientists are tapping into that precious knowledge -
from an innovative program at New Mexico State University to clinical tests at a cutting-edge
Seattle research lab. Student researchers are discovering the power of nature's wonders, and
perhaps the next breakthrough medicine.
