I watched this again this weekend, because of this thread. I think the humans were in shadow because Sen was trapped in the spirit dimension. Plus, she was travelling to Swamp Bottom during the daytime.
As far as the medicine goes - the only thing I could think of is that maybe it tasted bad, so she knew it was medicine to save for when she needed it?
I had only seen this movie once before, and I was amazed at how much I had forgotten. So many little charming details. And the characters! Yababba's bouncing head pets are my favorite. Oh and the soot sprites, which I also realized were in My Neighbor Totoro.
