America gets panic attacks. Britain warns but does not ban. www.users.globalnet.co.uk/%7Enodice/new/magazine/opinionifa/safetyifa.
We killed off so many healers during the Inquisition on the continent, and witch persecutions here, no wonder it is like starting from scratch using plant bases now. www.summerlands.com/crossroads/remembrance/burning.
Herbs have been suspect for a long time, and put under suspicion by those without the knack. See Slovak Traditional Herbal Medicine, see www.sazp.sk/parabow/parabow2/traditions/topics/herbs. People dealing in herb collecting and use for healing in the old days,: they were characters known as "volchvi," or "korenityci," and were often women who had a strong feel for the mystical. These were later connected with the devil or allied with other dark powers.
It gets worse. "The "Hochnothepeinliches Halsgericht" Act of Charles V is referred to here, at buscasitios.com/index.php/Regional/Europe/Slovakia/Localities/Levoca; and is said to permit punishments for herb use. In Levoca, Slovakia, one"witch" is said to have been burned to death 1717 and yet she was not asked what she used the herb for.
