Medicine men, known as shamans, used hypnosis, charms, dances, incantations, purgatives, massage, fire, water, and herbs to drive illness from the victim's body.
They also practiced trephining, drilling a hole in the skull with a rock or stone without anesthesia, as a last resort to drive evil spirits from the body.
