Herbology

Herbology in the context of Medieval Medicine and Science refers to the study and use of plants for medicinal purposes. Medieval practitioners, such as herbalists and apothecaries, identified the healing properties of various herbs and flowers to treat ailments. They relied on ancient texts and their own observations to create remedies. These plant-based treatments were used for everything from pain relief to digestive issues. While modern medicine has largely shifted to pharmaceuticals, the foundational knowledge from herbology remains influential in holistic and alternative healing practices today.
