 Anyway, from what I've dug up so far, there seems to be some kind of 
 tradition of referring to her not only as a poisoner but also as an owner 
 or creator of herbal/medicinal knowledge. Certainly, her endorsement of 
 balsamico (vinegar) as being of assistance before, during, and after 
 childbirth is something which is still quoted today - though mainly on 
 balsamico suppliers' websites. :-)

1 side thought? on "mortar/pestle'd EGG shell dust powder, it IS
reactive at this stage with "vinegar" as well as uric acids. (pee) 
common and age-old?

I'm NOT a chemist, so I don't know what IT makes, but it reacts with
both fumes like expansion AND turns into a pocked looking brown
substance.. no longer a powder but ~crusty~ brown in composition..
 
Best to you and yours
