Chinese “yellow soup” - ancient remedy

What you may well ask is this ancient remedy that is still being used today? 
Better known as faecal transplantation or FMT it is proving to be surprising successful in treating a variety of 21st century ailments which are resistant to modern drugs.
 
World leading microbiome scientist, James Kinross, explained its use in modern medicine today at Hay Festival.
It formed part of his talk on microbiome, the mysterious world that lives in our gut and surrounds our bodies too.
 
 It is still a relatively little understood branch of medicine though the Chinese used it nearly 2,000 years ago .
I suspect we are going to be hearing a lot more about it in future.
