Tudor Medicines

The Tudor’s had only a few medicines but they had a few for example, one was to not have a headache. It was a mixture made from sage, lavender and marjoram. Chamomile was used to stop a stomach ache. Herbal remedies were really well known so most of the Tudor women knew how to make this. Tudors thought that smallpox could be cured by hanging red curtains around the patients bed.

The Plague-Doctors had a sort of beak on their nose and mouth so that they wouldn’t breath in the bad air and so that they wouldn’t get sick of the Plague.

Did You Know?

There wasn’t a national health service in Tudor London so the type of doctor Tudors saw if they were feeling unwell varied to how much money they had and were they lived.
