Medical conditions in medieval England

Medical conditions in medieval England were dire, with frequent outbreaks of pandemics such as the Black Death, cholera, and typhoid fever, causing massive loss of life. Treatments relied mainly on herbs, bloodletting, and prayer and witchcraft, but these methods often had limited efficacy. Monasteries and churches often served as places for medical assistance, but professional doctors were scarce, and medical knowledge was relatively backward. Additionally, public health conditions were extremely poor, with overcrowded cities lacking effective waste disposal and clean water sources, exacerbating the spread of diseases.
