Nothing says strange history like medieval medicine- BUT, you may just learn that with some things, they were just like us and really onto something with some medical ideas!

Well, when I was thinking of strange history topics, medieval medicine definitely came to mind. Lice ale, anyone? Bloodletting, the four humours, and urine tasting are just some of the many medical techniques we’ll talk about in this class.

The difference between medieval medicine and modern. We’ll look into some of the wilder attempts at curing devastating diseases and how some of it may have actually worked, and also how we have taken their concepts and used some in medicine today.
I’ve been teaching at local co-ops for years and have shadowed teachers for the last 5 years. Plus, I’ve been teaching these online classes now going on three years to a group that continues to grow and now has over 2,000 members.
Some gross and disturbing content like surgeon-barbers, bloodletting, and leeches. I do not go into too much detail on some of the nastier sections. Strangely, a lot of kids love this stuff!
I utilize many books and websites to cross reference when researching my topics. This class in particular I read books Medieval Medicine: A Reader by Faith Wallace and Medieval Medicine: The Art of Healing Head to Toe by Luke E. Demaitre. Websites I often use are history.com, Smithsonian.com, and britannica.com.
