As an African, I'm working with my ancestors. It's a calling. All the herbs in South Africa, they've got a name, they've got a meaning. With those meanings, you don't just go and take any herb. If, let's say, a person have got headache, I have to consult my ancestors. Then they can tell me, say, 'Okay Eliot, you take those three different herbs, you mix them, give that person to inhale or to sniff it. And then he or she will get better.' So that's how it works. Because most of herbs, they got meaning.
