Petroleum
Ancient herbal medicine
Over 90% of Pharmaceuticals are made with or from petroleum.
Petroleum — oil and gas
Comes from ancient plants of the past.
Algae, seaweed, plankton
Settled in oceans, beneath it all.
Pressed by Earth through heat and time,
Transformed into oil — black and primal
Yes, it’s herbal. A medicine deep.
A gift of the Earth from an ancient sleep.
Mesopotamians, Greeks, and more,
Used oil that seeped from the Earth’s core.
Persians called its medicine mumiya,
Egyptians healed wounds and scars
Today, we still walk that path —
Modern meds shaped by petrochemical math.
Antidepressants, pain relievers too,
Built from molecules oil once grew.
It’s potent. It’s powerful. But it’s not forever.
A finite source — respect it
Medicine comes from our Source, the Earth.
Honor its past. And know its worth.
Plant medicine is Infinite
