We have been learning about Tudor medicine. there were plenty of cures back then but most would do more harm than good! If you had no money you would go to a herb wife who's cures included covering your head in cow manure or throwing a cat over your house to cure the plague. Monks would research diseases and pray for you. Apothecaries would make herbs and potions to heal you. The surgeon was only for the rich and they would cut you open, often wearing plague masks filled with strong smelling herbs. We looked at all of these and had great fun finding out the strange cures they came up with.
