There is also a saying “ modern medicine is built upon the ashes of witches.” And I am not talking about people who were actually evil or Satan worshipers. Many of the women who were murdered, were herbalists and midwives. Since they seemed to be able to save lives and bring babies into the world, they also were blamed when people in their village got sick or babies died for some reason. And of course, they would torture one woman until she said the names of other women or girls in her village . It was an atrocity . Wiping out these women, we lost hundreds of years of knowledge of natural healing, particularly using plant medicine. A shameful chapter in our history.
