She saw the local primates eating the leaves and so decided to risk trying them herself. It probably wasn't the most scientific approach, but it was the best she had. And it worked. Granted, the first thing she'd done when she realized the situation was attempt to feed the primates a tiny piece of her last ration bar and watch to make sure it didn't die. The feeding was a success, the watching less so.
