All forms of medicine, new or ancient, should undergo validation and integrated into "mainstream" medicine. If wormwood worked but only when using cold water, study that extract, isolate the compound to promote reproducibility of benefits and minimize side-effects from unnecessary compounds, and attempt mass production at cheap prices for public benefit without destroying the environment. How else can we foster trust that medicines are reliable? Modern medicine was born by consolidating and empirically scrutinizing thousands of years of all sorts of medicine.
