Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could pass me some Medieval Cures for the Bubonic Plague. I already have the softening the buboes near fig to soften it and also the one near the toads...anyone got anymore?
xGreat Plague!?
I be always fascinated by the Black Plague and own done reports on it several times. Other treatments that were used be specific to the symptoms such as:
lung symptoms - licorice and comfrey
headache - sweet smelling herbs (sage, rose, lavendar, bay)
stomach stomach-ache - wormwood, mint and balm
cleansing - vinegar
Of course, blood letting was used contained by Elizabethean times as well.
An interesting bit of trivia, did you know that the nursery rhyme, "Ring Around the Rosy," be really based on the Black Plague?
I'm assuming you're asking for curiosity/research and not because you certainly have this, since it's extremely irregular and may be a target for bioterrorism these days. Great plaque/bubonic plaque is cause by the bacteria Yersinia Pestis, that live within rats, and can be spread to human by fleas, cats, and other humans. Antibiotics streptomycin, doxycycline, and fluoroquinolones work to cure this infection, although the mortality rate is still pretty high even beside treatment.
yeah, rub quick- lime all over
