The Middle Ages (85) : Plants and herbs lady

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

A plants and herbs expert had a great knowledge of everything that grows in nature and was always busy with searching for new medical herb mixes.

Usually it were monks who were working on this, but also some women to earn a bit money.

Photographed at medieval festival of castle Sterckshof (Deurne, Belgium)

Did you know that in 2015 scientists discovered that a 1000 years old medieval remedy for eye infections can destroy the deadly superbug MRSA, which is resistant to many antibiotics !
