Ancient Asian Abracadabra: 
Many Ancient Herbologists from around the world had their practices incredibly intertwined with different ritual and beliefs which belonged to the area around them. This is because both magical and non-magical folk at the time lived closley together. As a result of this, the following two practices were and still are quite common within both groups. 

Chinese Medicine: 
Due to the high toxicity of most plants used by the Chinese, plant nutrients were often seperated from the plant content by the use of heat. When it came to tools, each material had a certain use. Plants were catogarised by warm and cold, and their taste, in order to treat an illness best. Some paintents were catogarised with a warm illness, whereas others were diagnosed with a cold illness. During the modern day, we have seen a boost of Chinese Herbology methods being used throughout the world. 

Ayurvedic Medicine: 
Just like Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine is big on balance. In fact, this practice involves Alchemy, in addition to Herbology. By their system, a person stays healthy by following each keyy area of life. They are called the Vata doscha, the Pitta doscha and the Kalpha doscha. The practice is nowadays used within India and parts of east Asian countries.
