As medicine evolved, creating medicines and treating the sick became more systematic and scientific. Parallel to this evolution was the consolidation of power by physicians and the marginalization of other healing practitioners, consisting of many women who were barred from attending universities. Nevertheless, home remedies continued to be passed down from generation to generation in family recipe books. Eventually, physicians would cater to this market by collecting home remedies and sharing them in their own books. Examples of these books are listed below and you can visit Hardin\u2019s new exhibit to see these books and more.<\/p>\n
