Suddenly many skills and practices went vanished into thin air. The torrential flow of time changed the definitions of idstra and science. Yet, the undeniable reality of so many options that were available at disposal in the field of health for many issues, compel us to look back. These were successful, beneficial and popular practices until the break of new inventions. Now they are precious relics for time travel-lers in the field of medicine. To an explorer of remedies for looming health issues, they offer a choice of armaments and strategy.
