How diseases were treaded and how they were diagnosed.

        A lot of the Medieval Time Doctors thought that the best way to diagnose a disease was through cleanliness. But because a lot of Europeans lacked hygiene ( Yuck!!) there were so many diseases, it was hard to diagnose everyone. Some people believed that if they had a disease, it was caused by a demon or a god trying to curse them... That's not weird!


The Opium Poppy Flower/ Plant. Helped to heal wounded. This is what the Medieval Times sleeping potion was made out of!

         Herbal Medicines were a source of most of the healing... Or so they thought! They thought that was the case until they realized that the majority of the herbal medicines weren't actually effective, except for a couple such as "Sleeping Potions," that were made from the Opium Poppy. It's not like anyone uses that stuff now... Or even knows what it is!
