Folk medicine in early America relied on witch doctors and home remedies

Historic medical practice divided illnesses into unexplained and those with identifiable causes. Witch or pow wow doctors attempted to break spells for unseen ailments while others used home preparations or underqualified physicians. Treatments included bleeding, blistering, cupping, sweating, purging, and moon or zodiac based cures passed by word of mouth.
