Product Description
We often think of medieval medicine as strange, unhygienic and unscientific, but The Medieval Guide to Healthy Living reveals a far richer story.Long before modern wellness trends, people in the Middle Ages were actively thinking about how to live well.They followed detailed health regimens, balanced diet with exercise, considered the effects of emotions and sought to avoid illness through environmental awareness and routine care.This book sheds light on the practical and surprisingly relatable ways medieval individuals cared for body and mind.Drawing from historical sources that echo today’s wellness concerns, it offers a fresh, thoughtful view of a misunderstood era.In understanding their world, we might see our own in a new, more connected light.
