We probably haven't lost as much as you think - we either still use it or it was bunkum (for a given application). eg. Chamomile - still used for bad stomachs

eg. Chamomile - still used for bad stomachs (is a costive), whether it works on herpes simplex seems really dubious.
- luminouslow 4y agoAgreed! In a lot of areas that knowledge is still alive and well, not least in cooking. I think food can still have a lot of healing properties. Often modern medicine is based on these plants. And of course there are modern treatments that go way beyond what we were able to achieve with just plant-based medicine.
