Do you know of natural remedies or common practices that were once considered witchcraft in the 1600-1800’s?

For example, echinacea for cold prevention now? salt water gargling for sore throat treatment? what was used way back when?
How to treat infected cuts? Then and now (naturally)
How to control fever etc?
Any links you can provide are greatly appreciated.
Awesome info– keep it coming! I am gathering info on the European witch craze of the 1600-1800 and am interested in what healers would have used in that era.
