Description

Witch doctors have been around for centuries, and many people still associate the term with fear and superstition. But what if we dig deeper and look at the history behind it? Some historians claim that witch doctors were the first physicians, and some of their potions may have even formed the basis of modern medicine. From diviners to voodoo doctors and herbalists; join Sav and Bree as they explore it together in this week's podcast episode.

*WARNING this episode discusses sensitive topics such as death and murder.
