From the use of healing crystals and medicinal herbs to ointments made of bear fat and surgery without anaesthetic, the medieval approach to the diagnosis and treatment of sickness is full of surprises.
Whether it was plague or childbirth, haemorrhoids or seasickness, medieval physicians and surgeons - many of them women - were up for the challenge.
In this talk, Carmel Bendon will cover a range of 'weird and wonderful' aspects of medieval medicine, illustrated with images from medieval 'herbals' (medical manuscripts).
Event Details
This event will be held in person at SMSA's Henry Carmichael Theatre at Level 1, 280 Pitt Street Sydney.
Free event - registration to attend this event is essential due to limited capacity.
