AceFuzzLord,

I don’t know if anyone else has said it, but the belief that human illness and all that were caused by an imbalance of four bodily humors: black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm. It’s an old belief where the earliest I found it being practiced was around 400 B.C.

Blood letting. Have a fever, must be to much blood inside you.

AWittyUsername,

Blood letting actually does have medical basis, especially for people that suffer from hemochromatosis.

Drowning women to determine if they are witches.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It still works now.

100% of people drowned are absolutely not witches!

Everythingispenguins,

Are you sure? I don’t know if it has ever been definitely proven that witches float. We might have accidentally drowned a few witches.

If you had magic powers, would you let a bunch of dumbshit muggles who believe in witches drown you?
