I dont understand this, as a Historian [ I think ] and a re-enactor, history must have told you something about how people looked after themselves before modern medicine.

Ok, so some of what was used didn't do a lot of good, but there were clearly many herbal medicines that worked well then and still do now

We have a professional Herbalist of 30 years on this site, are you telling us that all that he learnt and prescribed was no good,... because somehow I doubt he would have been doing it for anywhere near 30 months never mind 30 years

BP, made an important point, that most if not all modern medicine has come from nature, and they are still searching the jungles of the world for more to use,.. so if you except that, you must except that people prior to modern medicine, did use plants to cure illnesses
