Can anyone think of an "ancient" therapy that we still use today?

An ancient therapy that actually works - or any ancient therapy?

Opium derivatives are still pretty good for pain.

And people have been using cannabis medicinally for thousands of years.

It's an effective pain reliever for some kinds of chronic pain. Less addictive than opioids. Reduces muscle spasms, tics in Tourette syndrome. Reduces nausea. Some people take for anxiety, depression, ADHD. Difficult to overdose on (a key requirement for antidepressants).

Here I am again, now about "medicinal" cannabis: the analysis of 1000+ research papers shows 3 categories: that it is not effective (exp multiple sclerosis) , has little effect (less than the side effects) (exp epilepsy) or there is insufficient data (exp Tourette and nausea)

Yup. The hype for medicinal cannabis far outweighs the actual evidence, which is fairly week.
