How did activist get its medicinal taste

The term "activist" seems out of context in your question. It’s possible that you meant "activism," "activates," or a specific substance or plant known for its medicinal properties. If you’re referring to something like herbal remedies or medicinal compounds that have a specific taste, please provide more context or specify the substance you're interested in. If you’re asking about the medicinal taste of a specific herb or plant, many medicinal plants have distinct tastes due to the active compounds they contain. These compounds can include alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals, which often have strong flavors that can be bitter, sweet, or pungent. Please clarify your question so I can provide more accurate information!
