For a little over a century, the term snake oil has been synonymous with medical fraud and quackery. Beforehand however, snake oil was a general term for broad-spectrum, natural medicines with a variety of applications. The name was based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas containing extracts from water snakes.
This association changed when industrialists monopolized the medical field, criminalizing natural and traditional practices, using yellow journalism and racist propaganda to create fear surrounding global, indigenous medical traditions.
The snake is also a long-standing symbol of feminine medicine traditions. In Greek mythology, the Oracle at Delphi kept a python as a familiar. When Apollo forcibly took over the sacred site, his first task was to slaughter her mystical serpent. This story symbolizes the patriarchal takeover of medicine.
Dr. Cassandra's Snake Oils reclaim these symbols, honoring their rightful place in medical history.
Each Snake Oil formula is available in two varieties: water-based apt for body, clothing, room, and ritual, or oil-based for skin and hair.
