A historical medical treatment involving the application or use of grape-like substances, remedies, or compounds, now largely obsolete.
From Greek botryos (bunch of grapes) + therapeia (healing, treatment). An archaic medical term from 18th-19th century herbalism and folk medicine practices.
Before modern medicine, doctors and herbalists literally used grape-based treatments for various ailments—'botryotherapy' is the fancy name for something you might call folk remedy today, showing how many old medical terms are really just ancient experiments that sounded more scientific with Greek prefixes.
