[Hippocratic therapies for gynecologic diseases. Popular medicine or science?].

Abstract
Gynaecology is the field of Hippocratic medicine in which most remnants of magical and popular medicine have been found. However, this must not lead to premature generalizations. Therapies and drugs which are repeatedly mentioned as examples of such archaic remnants (especially the so-called "Dreckapotheke") are to be interpreted differently according to context. While some treatments clearly show their archaic origin, others can be explained in the light of the scientific medical knowledge of their time.
