☕️ Would a mugwort tea land you in trouble in 1690s Salem? In early America, herbal remedies, meditative breathing, and healing crystals could get you accused of witchcraft, especially if you were a woman, or worked as a midwife outside the male medical establishment.

🌿 Practices ranging from herbal medicine and spiritual cleansing to guided visualisation were once seen as sinister, with 'witch's brew' and ritual baths branded as demonic. Colonial courts famously targeted women who brewed valerian, yarrow, and mugwort cures, the kind now sold in every modern wellness shop. Today, those same techniques fill social media feeds under #wellness, enjoyed by millions seeking natural remedies and balance.

🧙‍♀️ It's a transformation: ancient folk medicine has rebranded from perilous 'witchcraft' to aspirational health trend. Entire wellness industries now thrive on what was previously banned.

📜 The evolution of these practices tells a deeper story about fear, prejudice, and healing. From persecution in candle-lit kitchens to empowerment in sunlight studios, our wellness rituals have roots far deeper than trend cycles.
