Exactly. We use smudging and drink cedar tea, and take honey at the first sign of illness but we also use pharmacy meds. A lot of people just mess around though with no traditional medicine knowledge or like medical school. When there are no double blind studies, and there is no evidence proving ingredients are beneficial, then it’s a bunch of charlatans trying to rip people off. Unfortunately, even people who are in the medical field are realizing how much money they can make from selling their own brands of different drinks with maybe one or two proven ingredients, but not put together in a way that actually makes a difference in anyone’s life. I really think this needs to be more closely regulated. In Canada cannabis is legal, and a lot of doctors are acknowledging that it is a good alternative to many other more harmful (to our livers, kidneys, etc) pharmaceuticals. Many traditional Indigenous medicines have actual healing properties, but unfortunately once anything non-pharmaceutical starts to be used on social media where nobody questions testing, results and actual feedback.
