Wise Tips

Many of the traditional herbal healers were the wise women, living in villages, who commanded great respect and not a little fear, because of their healing powers. The rise of allopathic medicine and its use of inorganic chemical was accompanied by the systematic disparagement of the woman's powers to heal using natural herbs and other plants. During the 17th century many women were ultimately commended as witches, tried by mob, and burned at the stake for drowned, for practicing natural herbal medicine.
