Herbal remedies were used by all the healers back then, and they were as common to the people as Advil or antacids are to people today.

Exactly right, Yaelle. Herbal healing had been around for thousands of years by that point in history and their capacities and limitations would have been well known. The best remedies in the most skilled hands would have still fallen well short of seeming miraculous.

The people of Jesus' time and place were far less knowledgeable than we are not dumber.

Exactly. And I’ve seen cannabis growing in parts of the world as literal weeds on the side of the road. No doubt it was used for whatever, commonly. Not a miracle.
