Before modern medicine, which is only a couple of hundred years old, people used to cure themselves naturally. A witch meant wise. Women who birthed babies for thousands of years were recently called witches by male doctors practicing modern medicine.

the introduction of smallpox
India's contributions to science, technology and crafts are well documented, if not widely known. For example, before the British arrived, Indians had a system of inoculation against smallpox; year-old live smallpox matter was used, and it was very effective. Inocultators would fan out into the country before the smallpox season in the winter. The British doctor J Z Holwell wrote a book in 1767 describing the system and how it was safe. European medicine did not have any treatment against this disease at that time.
