> hemlock extract is great for curing migraines

Uh... no. I almost did myself in back when I was young and stupid by anointing myself with hemlock essential oil. Very bad news.

But herbalism is very legit when you aren't taken in by all the woo. Almost all the big-pharma prescribed by doctors is derived from ethnobotony plagerised from indigenous medicine keepers anyway, even if they synthesise it or tweak the molecule in order to qualify for a patent. The real herbs though are generally way more effective because of the entourage effect, and if you know enough about foraging, can be obtained for $0 with a little bit of elbow grease and know-how, and maybe at most a mickey of vodka and a mason jar.
