Medieval Medicine: A Closer Look

A new exhibition in Cambridge explores the fascinating, and often bizarre, world of medieval medicine.

Medieval doctors used unusual ingredients like weasel testicles and mercury in their remedies, reflecting their unique worldview.

Their beliefs, including the theory of four humors and the influence of astrology, shaped their medical practices.

The exhibition provides a deeper understanding of medieval medical practices and the broader societal context influencing them.
