Elizabethan Medicine
Queen Elizabeth
I's reign (1558-1603) brought the restoration of general charity, and
there were many types of professionals and individuals to turn to for
seeking medical attention. As a result of this broad spectrum of
medical choices, a mixture of the theory of Humors, the Doctrine of
Signatures, astrology, tradition, chemical science, and magic became the
basis for popular medicine in Elizabethan England. Research what type of medicine was used to treat illness and post your findings.

In the Elizabethan age people who were sick did not have doctors who gave proper medication back then. Sometimes they would give them gem stones to help them get better which in reality is not much of medicine. The people who are wealthy had doctors mainly because they could afford it.

ReplyDeleteIn the Elizabethan Era, they used to kill people with illnesses. The doctors killed more than third of their population. Medicine was basic, Physicians had no idea what caused the terrible illnesses and diseases. The bizarre and gruesome Physician masks would have acted as protection against contracting the disease through breathing the same air as the victim. Neither rats nor fleas could easily penetrate these defences.
Bubonic Plague was treated by lancing the buboes and applying a warm poultice of butter, onion and garlic. Other treatments involved tobacco, arsenic, lily root, and dried toad.
