EP - 81 - The Middle Ages' Most Torturous Medical Procedures

Welcome, my loves!

The Middle Ages, characterized by its captivating history, flourishing art, groundbreaking philosophy, legendary heroes, and even a touch of mysticism, might sound like an enchanting era. However, for anyone needing medical care during this period, it was far from pleasant.

The prevailing approach to alleviating the suffering of the sick was to subject them to further agony and then rely on sheer luck for relief.

So, buckle up as we journey through the Middle Ages and take a look at the Five Most Painful Medical Treatments of the time.

Let me warn you that these will make your skin crawl.

About the Podcast

Beauty Unlocked the podcast
Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

Hey there!
I'm Carissa, host, content creator, and producer of the indie podcast Beauty Unlocked.
Growing up, I was frequently compared and criticized for my looks and weight. This started the vicious cycle of being self-critical and loathing my body. I knew I wasn't the only one suffering from society's ridiculous notion of what "we should look like." I started digging deeper and researching various topics, and the rest is h(er)story!
Beauty Unlocked The Podcast aims to educate and bring awareness of our society's obsession with physical beauty and the emotional consequences these impossible beauty standards have. Beauty Unlocked's social media platform showcases not only my work but that of other artists, illustrators, and fellow podcasters that I admire and that share a similar message of inspiration, empowerment, positivity, and raising awareness on a variety of social issues.
