I do not write with hand alone.
My foot does writing of its own.
Firm, free, and bold my feet engage
in running over field and page
— Friedrich Nietzsche, The joyful Wisdom

Although self-medication in non-human animals is often difficult to document, We observed a male Sumatran orangutan (a species of great ape) who sustained a facial wound. Three days after the injury he selectively ripped off leaves of a liana (that isn’t part of it’s diet) and chewed on them, and then repeatedly applied the resulting juice onto the facial wound. As a last step, he fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. 8 days later the wound fully closed, one month later the wound fully healed, this related liana species are used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases, such as dysentery, diabetes, and malaria. Previous analyses of plant chemical compounds show the presence of furanoditerpenoids and protoberberine alkaloids, which are known to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and other biological activities of relevance to wound healing.

Many animals practice geophagia (eating earthy substances) for myriad reasons. One reason is that these materials are rich in necessary minerals such as sodium or calcium. Animals also sometimes happen to eat toxic or infected food, so they "treat themselves" with behaviors like geophagia.
Pica might be an evolutionary response to mineral deficiency. But this remains a hypothesis.

”أيقظتْ أعرابيةٌ أولادًا لها صغارًا قبل الفجر في غدوات الربيع وقالت: تنسموا هذه الأرواح، واستنشقوا هذا النسيم، وتفهموا هذا النعيم؛ فإنه يشدُّ من مُنَّتكم.”

To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything.
Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
— Fernando Pessoa
