Medieval Medicine and Witchcraft | LeechFest Ep 7

We've been on a medieval kick lately! We mentioned plague doctors in the previous episode but there was so much more to medieval medicine than those beaked freaks. In this episode, we take a look at sickness and health between approximately 8th and 15th century in Europe. We talk about medical practitioners and the methods they would employ, and also look at how the practice changed over time. This episode is also very female-focused, so we talk about female healers and some reasons why they would get accused of witchcraft.
