The Real "Snake Oil" Salesmen
For thousands of years, nature was our medicine. We healed ourselves using plants we harvested and animals we hunted.
But then somewhere along the way, these natural remedies were dismissed as "snake oil" – products with no medicinal value that were only intended to part you from your money.
The real cures, we were told, were developed by scientists and came out of a lab.
Imagine a healing herb that is so revered, you could only harvest it during a special ceremony.
That's how sacred sage was to the ancient Romans.
Before gathering it, they had to change into clean clothing and wash their feet. They even swapped their everyday iron tools with ones made of silver in order to avoid "contaminating" the plant.
