  A lot of ancient medicine is based around the belief that certain animal properties have healing powers. Some people believe that medicine made from tiger parts is magical, but there is no scientific evidence to support this. It’s sad because a lot of tigers are killed for their teeth, fur, testes, brain, bile, blood, claws, all parts really, but modern medicine has been proven to do a much better job.

  There is a science called homeopathy which uses medicines produced from animal origins…..it is not that successful anyway….
