They used so many wild plants and herbs, they used to be called apothecary, the name used before chemists came along with all their chemicals. Special herbs, not necessarily, eye of newt is only lavender. I'm not sure why this was but I have a fair idea. Different treatments included colour healing.

There are far too many to list! It seems that almost everything had some medicinal application...to aid digestion, rid one of worms, abort a fetus, stimulate the heart, cure flatulence, etc. etc. Of course many of these were not effective, but many (like senna, a laxative) are still in use today.
According to the Doctrine of Signatures, God put certain plants on the earth to aid us humans, and he signified which plants those were by putting a mark on them. Thus Pulmonaria was thought to be appropriate for respiratory aiments because its leaves resembled lung tissue, and Ginseng was thought to be a general tonic because its root resembles a human body. There's a definite line between superstition and effective healing!

they usually just slit the person's wrist with a rusty blade to "let the evil spirits out." and you really want to use the same treatments as them?
digoxin which was derived from fox glove and atropine from night shade are the two herbal drugs used a lot in ancient times that are still in use today. dont mess with those though because those are dangerous drugs if you take too much. st john's wort was used by the greeks and romans for mental illness and there is a lot of research that shows that it works a little bit. most of the other stuff is probably crap.
