The treatment in the medieval times is sooo different from now days that you wouldn’t be able to imagine how different. The treatment back then about 100 years ago was all made out of natural things like plants and herbs. They also had magical thing that they thought could heal each other like spells and positions. They even had a certain type of pill that they would take to clean out their digestive worm (what they would call it). The worm was placed in cloths and was thought to keep away all types of viruses and or sickness.....weird thats very different from treament today.
Now I am going to tell you about all the differnt type of medicines they would use. They used this plant called marjoram which was used for healing: bruises, cuts, swelling and things like that. When they would place the cold plant on their skin it would slowly but surely make the pain and sarce go away. They also used a type of lemon balm as a special type of spooky magic to cure and send away horrible major sicknesses. the most common treatment they used was called feverflew. This was a strong smelling substance that was used for things like bad headaces and planty of things close to that. Well as you can see their treatment was very and highly differnt form ours today but you never in some of the medicines we live around everyday could be made with one of these treatments that they used way back then.......you never know.
The Horrifying Black Death I mean really what was the Black Death?Well I’ll tell you all about it. The Black Death wasa horrible plague that spread around the medieval citieslike a bad smell. They call the Black Death a bubonic plague.it started spreading around medieval Europe around 1348.it was carried around the crowded towns by nasty rats, and infested flees. When ever the rats would bite the town’s people, the bacteriawould get into their blood an infect them…..gross. Back to learning about what happen. The rats lived inthe town with the people in usually close corners with the people.There were sooooo many rats because the rats had a good environmentTo bred and live soooo therefore a lot of them did. The way that the grossflees would get it is they would bite the rats and them the humans and then they would infect the humans just like the rats. Since thenormal medieval towns were so degusting and gross both of theseanimals had good places to live. Before the Black Death Europe was highly populated but afterThis horrible year or so they lost 30% of their population…that’s terrible.There’s a lot of interesting facts that I would like to share with you. Did you know that? When ever a bunch of people died like in the Black Death they would dump the rotting bodies in big pits that were very deep and wide. There were many signs that you knew you had it if you got huge black spots on your arms usually your armpits. Once you had these horrid nasty spots you could sadly expect to die in the next 48 hours. The only way to escape death in this terrible time was to escape your town’s life and your family around you. :( Once you round this all up you get the horrifying Black Death. | draft | 5/16/11 | by BayliM4 |
