The bulbs of this plant contain Hypoxoside which helps modulate the immune system and is used by HIV+ people as a supplement. It is not a cure but it is a helpful treatment

That is very interesting. Makes you wonder how much research has gone into it over the years/decades to discover the wonders of a plant.

The discovery of these plant's medicinal uses is lost in the mist of time. They have only been scientifically studied because they are known to have medicinal value
