Witchcraft and herbalism have a long and intertwined history, dating back centuries to ancient civilizations. The practice of witchcraft often involved the use of plants and herbs for various purposes, including spellcasting, healing, and divination. In ancient times, witches were considered wise women or healers who had a deep understanding of the natural world. They believed that plants and herbs possessed certain powers and energies that could be harnessed for magical purposes. These practitioners would gather plants, dry them, and create potions, ointments, and remedies to achieve their desired outcomes. The use of herbs in witchcraft was not limited to spells and potions.
Not necessarily. She could have taken Valtrex for three days and it would have cleared that sore up. So it wouldn't be a continuity issue.

Dietary supplements are not regulated like drugs in the United States, meaning the Food and Drug Administration FDA does not approve them for safety and effectiveness before products are marketed.
The use of herbs in witchcraft was not limited to spells and potions. Many witches also practiced herbal medicine, using plants to treat ailments and promote healing. They would create herbal remedies that could be ingested, applied topically, or used in rituals to aid in the healing process.
DID SUKI HAVE HERPIES?
the link above pretty much tells you what a cold sore is, if that's the case why wasn't this discussed at all in the film?

Direct Link: copy [–] thanatosmur 16 years agoI agree with jesseperez. I think it was a great way to show how much pain she was in. Some people breakout into cold sores when they are under extreme stress (or even just a bit of stress) - you can get cold sores which is a variant of the herpes virus without having had sex - Suki was clearly under a lot of stress and in a lot of pain so I just assumed the cold sore was just a result of that.

Direct Link: copy [–] has_no_pseudonym 15 years agoI agree with the stress bit from Felicia's death, but she had the sores before he started attacking them while watching the video. When he came by with the basket of fruit you can see the discoloration around her lips pretty clearly.

Direct Link: copy [–] Stacehoney72 15 years agoWhat was that thing on suki(m.Pfifer) lip. Was it a cold sore? if so does she have herpes
I was thinking the same thing, i wrote a post about it too, i think Daryl was putting some spell on her? I have watched this movie a lot of times and i still don't get that part.

Direct Link: copy [–] Tresix 15 years agoYou will recall that Darryl is watching the video tape of each woman saying what they feared the most. Jane says her fear is growing old and, for a brief second, she ages right before our eyes because of Darryl. Alexandra says she's afraid of snakes, she wakes up to a bed full of them courtesy of DVH. Sukie says she's afraid of getting sick and dying, Darryl makes her get sick. Now, like I said earlier, I thought he was giving her syphilis, which I think would cause more pain than herpes (but I could be wrong).

Direct Link: copy [–] starbeams 15 years agoi doubt that Michelle actually has herpes. i think they just added it to make the "pain" more dramatic? Cos if she really did have herpes, i'd think there would be continuity issues during filming? hmm.. i dunno =\

Herpes Simplex A (which is what causes cold sores) is a VERY COMMON problem. A LOT of people have it. It doesn't mean you're disgusting with a STI or something. Jeez people. If you had chicken pox when you were younger, you had herpes. Didn't you know that's a form too?
I do recall seeing a bump on her lip towards the beginning, however. Cold sores are a bitch, come on when you least expect it (stress, weather change, fever.. they're just as commonly called fever blisters), and must have been very uncomfortable for poor Michelle, not only to have in the first place, but to have covered up.
In one study, researchers tested witch hazel on children. The children had minor skin problems like diaper rash, itching, redness, and swelling.
These remedies were often based on the knowledge passed down through generations and were believed to have powerful healing properties. In addition to healing, herbs were also used in divination practices by witches. Certain plants were believed to have the ability to enhance psychic abilities and connect with the spiritual realm. Witches would burn or inhale the smoke of certain herbs to induce a trance-like state and receive messages from the spiritual world. Despite their deep connection to nature and knowledge of herbalism, witches were often persecuted throughout history. They were often accused of practicing dark magic and working with the devil, leading to witch hunts and trials. Many innocent women lost their lives due to these false accusations. In modern times, witchcraft and herbalism have experienced a resurgence in popularity. Many people are drawn to the practices of herbal medicine, spellcasting, and divination as a way to reconnect with nature and tap into their intuition. Witchcraft and herbalism are now seen as legitimate spiritual practices and are embraced by many as a way to heal, empower, and explore their spirituality. The relationship between witchcraft and herbalism continues to evolve, with practitioners delving deeper into the properties and uses of plants and herbs. From creating personalized herbal remedies to conducting rituals and spells, witches continue to honor and utilize the power of the natural world in their practice. The connection between witchcraft and herbalism remains a significant aspect of modern magical traditions, providing a rich and profound experience for those who practice it..
