By Dr Christina Lee

Suitable for ages 14+ Please be aware that there will be images of disease and illness

The perception is that medieval medicine was backward – but is this true? Dr Christina Lee explores what medieval healing and medicine looked like, from remedies and healing practices to the question of where people could seek help for their illnesses, and explores the changes to medicine over time.
