Surviving The Middle Ages as an ill Person...

- What would the Medievals want with a burnt owl, a chopped-up cat, or dove faeces? How do you help a bald man with gout? Or a woman with ‘blocked menses?’
If they weren’t too complicated, most medicines in the Middle Ages were homemade. Many were quite practical, and most of the ingredients make sense to us because they are still recognisable today. Others are just downright freaky…

Medieval Doctor: Hmm, how could I satiate my love for random concoctions and unfounded hatred of animals at the same time?
As soon as you said onion and garlic I KNEW they were gonna put it directly in the eyes. What a time to be alive
One of my history teachers had a project where each student had to do a report about various lifes of folk in that period. I made a journal to look old and logged what the doctor had treated. One guy had horribly broken ribs after bring kicked by his field animal. Doctor hung a dried toad around his neck and was on his way! 🤣 Also ncluded classics like trepanning, bloodletting, burning demons out of your teeth. Last page was spattered in red paint to imply he got the plague and died, got an A+!
That is BRILLIANT, absolutely AMAZING!!!! 😊
Bro pictures plz
Eating cookies, ANY cookies, usually bring about happiness! 😁
It’s amazing how it seems they managed to put random ingredients that might have some health benefits together with a specific order of preparation and end up with a great cure for particular diseases
It's because they weren't "random ingredients" for the most part.
@@The_Captainn For the most part they (the ingredients) sure were random, and in fact for most patients those remedies not only did nothing to help but worsened things or were even fatal.
It's just like what they still do 😂
some of it was maybe random ingredients but a lot of these were likely old recipes passed down from generation to generation by teaching their kids how to do it and eventually writing it down. of course plenty of it didn't actually work but some of them were recipes they knew worked
When other cultures do it: It's medicine
When euros do it: Teehee even though it works its all random and stupid roflmao@@LucienSabre
I swear it’s like the people that came up with this stuff were just trolling lol. Like, “Let’s see what we can get them to do next.”
Never realized how many medieval paintings depict ppl being crapped on
😂
The vast majority dont.. next
Patient: "Ugh I have such a horrible headache!"
The Apothecary: "Here my dear, drink this arsenic."
The Priest: "Stay in the church overnight beating the sin out of yourself with a rod."
The actual surgeon: "GET THE BIG BRAIN DRILL!"
This video makes me appreciate Tylenol a lot more
You'll appreciate Tylenol a lot more if you mix it with alcohol
(Hint: don't do this.)
The good old days of early medicine... good times... for the doctors. The patients, not so much.
In those days, some of the smarter people actually avoided doctors and took their chances as they came.
Marion simms
Max Miller of Tasting History made the cookies by St. Hildegarde, a heavy amount of spices in them.
Their creativity is astonishing!
Sometimes I wonder how humans survived the Middle Ages 😂
😂😂😂 true
I mean I think in some places they had painkillers, good ol opium
They had it better. The synthetic opioids are toxic and don't work as well. Just as addicting. Actually harder to wean off.
The medieval way of drawing animals was really sick.
I find it quite hilarious. Must've been a genius to be able to entertain the masses centuries later XD
@@codygrimes6157 LoL yes
I refuse to believe I'm wrong for wishing we had a variety of porpoise that looked like the "sea pigs" in the painting
When my younger sister and I were born, our parents didn’t have much money, so our mom applied old traditional home remedies to “cure” us from certain illnesses.
One home remedy ( for colds and upper respiratory infections) that she used was taking our urine soaked cloth diaper, placing it on our crib rail, then turning on a fan which would be placed right by the diaper. The ammonia from the urine would open up our airways, so we could breathe.
Next, she’d chop up an onion, mix it with honey inside a jar, let it sit for a few hours with a towel covering it, and separating the syrup from the onion and honey, and it acted like cough syrup.
She’d place sliced apples, oranges, plums, or whatever fruit inside a freezer bag with a few drops of alcohol, then place the fruit in the freezer. This numbed the gums when a baby starts teething. One thing, do not walk away when the baby is sucking and chewing on the frozen piece of fruit.
She’d use the original Listerine Mouthwash to cleanse cuts and scrapes by using a small piece of cloth that was dipped into the bottle.
There are more home remedies that she used, but I just cannot recall the other remedies.
Sister Wendy, in her popular videos on art appreciation, once said while analysing a mediaeval scene, "I sometimes think I'd like to be one of those mediaeval ladies with pointy hats and streamers flowing from them. But then I think no, I wouldn't; they didn't have dentists!"
Enough said, ma'am!
0:38: 📚 During the Middle Ages, small remedy books were commercially handwritten and carried around by people, containing practical medicines and recognizable ingredients.
2:17: 👁 Medieval eye remedies included using bile from a Bullock's liver and mixing it with various substances like leaks and Periwinkles.
4:23: 🤔 The video discusses some bizarre medieval remedies for psychological problems and illnesses.

8:41: ! Medieval recipes provide a glimpse into the medical culture of the Middle Ages and the cruel practices used on animals.
Recap by Tammy AI
I love the way you read old poems!!! I could listen to that for hours!
love your voice! your narration makes these videos even more interesting :)
Still amazing how the Romans were so much advanced on public hygiene and other fields. Still not very clear how humanity went totally ignorant after that and for many centuries.
No mention of a cure for a broken thumb - I have been given a plastic cover over my thumb and they put my arm in a sling - which wouldn’t have been a problem if I could walk, but I use my hands to move my wheelchair!!!
It’s going to be a very long six weeks and I’m still on day one!
Work on coercion techniques, gaining sympathy from friends or dates to push you around.
Do whatever it takes to not sleep on it. I came close to handcuffing my hand to the bed when I dislocated my fingers (same finger, other hand, 1 year apart).
I'm in a wheelchair too.., you've got to protect your hands and shoulders.... when I read the post your half through.... good luck....Carpe Viva
Another fantastic video :)
Do one of gangs during the middle ages.
Your uploads are the only “non professional” documentaries I can go to sleep to
Thanks very much. Cheers.
Those of us with chronic, currently incurable illness have a taste of this kind of medicine … where our modern knowledge of the human body and its afflictions ends, there is a steep drop-off in voodoo and snake oil and superstition remain firmly intact. Luckily, we have advanced beyond blood-letting, various animal dungs, and puppy’s blood.
Fascinating in its grotesqueness. Bewildering. How did the people come by these weird recipes, I wonder?
I really love your channel! 💜
Thank God for modern medicine!
Brilliant no need for a Drs prescription for me any longer thank you 🎉
Hearing about feces and animal organs mixtures while eating yoghurt. Yes.
If they wanted to stop their gout, why didn't they just pluck off those little monsters that were gnawing on their feet with their sharp little fangs and claws? Those things look like some mean little bastards...
😂😂😂
Gout is well treatable by concentrated cherry juice with celary…… 👍
Please, what is the source for the dog in costume at "Snips, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails" intro at 6:40? Thank you!
Love the theme music at 4 minutes. Good stuff. Great informative video. I love the sense of humor you keep talking about such heavy topics
What’s the name of the song in the beginning of your videos
Trying to treat gout is like trying to catch Mewthree in Pokémon Red with all those shitty parts lol.
So me with my depression would just die 👍🏽
Oh good something finally came on
Does anyone know the song in the intro?
Man.... We had to start somewhere
I would never ever ever complain about anything 😂😂
Seems like a lot of time it was let's through anything to the wall and see what sticks.
I don’t understand the time in medieval art where everyone had eyes very close together. Seems like earlier art possibly prior to 1099
How would you try this vs well anything else.
KEEP DROPPIN BRO! I know you heard the hate. Fuxk all that MEM IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I enjoyed modern medicine this last summer. My tonsils tried to kill me with abscesses.
Daffodils
Jocks itch would have been the death of me! That and my heartburn! I’d have self helped the off button. 😂
….The wanton cruelty of the age toward the weak & defenseless….
😂
Makes you wonder what the future will think of OUR medications and our current clinical/surgical/psychiatric practises………
Chicken sh*t rubbed into the bulbous of black death.💀☠💀
These medicines sound horrifying.
Who would have thought that meat was the cure to gout...
Oh yes, lots of fatty meats and alcohol 😂
@@laurieb3703 Remember: No exercise! and plenty of cigarettes!
@@seanhuds7351 absolutely! Bed rest only
Why does that dog painting have a human face?!
Wonder if these treatments were tested on animals?
Worse than these "recipes" themselves is the thought of how one might develope such things. How many dogs died before an unweened pup stomach was decided upon? & Why? In the first place why?
are you vegan
It's cure or kill
You want some help or not ? Got dough ? We got cures
Obviously they had no clue 😂
Dung and honey. Sounds like a punk band
Medieval medicine had a good sense of humor..
Well, I think I would prefer to die instead of submitting myself to some of this "remedies" 😅 And, as a dog owner, I was disgusted by the last recipe... thank god Medicine evolved!
There’s truth to it, though. For example, cleaning the poop and pee from my cats litter box cures my diseased inclination toward pride, a serious illness *and* a deadly sin!
And be at risk of toxoplasmosis? Oh man so much win! 💩🙀
@@DeAthWaGer oh, my!
“Surviving the Middle Ages as an ill person”
You don’t
I am delighted with your films, full of fun information. You caution us that this one is for “entertainment”. Do you mean, Don’t try this at home? Or, the info is not all true? Which leads me to suggest that “end notes” giving us your sources would be really welcome.
Medieval folks wouldn't have so much mental problems if they did'nt spent that much time on their bloody iPhone -265 Pro Max
like Chinese medicine then
over what period of time did it take people to figure out these things didn’t work? i guess people still do things today that have no effect so, maybe we never learn?!
They would have forgotten the illnesses or been distracted by another one before they are off to the doctors again!
Did any of this really work? 🤔
In That Contemporary Time India Was Way way Ahead Of The World In Terms Of Medical Knowledge. If You Still Try To Find And Apply Any Cure From 'Ayurveda' you will surely Get Benefits.❤❤❤
7:03.
Doc: "So been bite by a snake, eh. Here, drink this."
Patient: "I feel much better. Although the water was a bit dirty and slimy."
Doc: " Oh, yes, that. It prey be the slug."
Yeah these "cures" are a no from me lol. I would of happily died back then.
Well, I mean, it'd still be either way, wouldn't it? LOL So yeah, I'd much rather die NOT covered in animal faeces or rotting organs (or both).
Olde sores… ewww
I'll pass, thanks, lol
Man may DIE!!!!!!!
It angers me how the stupid Metatron always makes up made up twisted logical sounding statements to attack everything
I must tell you - it tasted awful.
And these people reproduced?? The ancients were a lot smarter than this. Yikes!
This man is known as being a far left political figure who pushes misinformation
Its amazing how they still manage to separate the schizophrenics, but im sorry...all of this is schizophrenia.
Is your channel intended as a joke? Because the sheer amount of blatant misinformation coming from it tells me that this channel is intended as a joke.
Kinda amazes me how infections & illness wasn't waaaay more common considering the amount of "cures/remedies" used literally *POOP* to be drank/ate/applied with. Basically if you made it to an adult I'd imagine their immune system absolutely out classes a modern persons of today, LOL!😂
Alot of historians white wash European history to make jt look and seem better. Just like hannibal being white. When in reality he was white
You should stop making content thats purposefully spreading misinformation. Do some research
