How did 17th-century families in England perceive their health care
needs? What household resources were available for medical
self-help? To what extent did households make up remedies based on
medicinal recipes? Drawing on previously unpublished household
papers ranging from recipes to accounts and letters, this original
account shows how health and illness were managed on a day-to-day
basis in a variety of 17th-century households. It reveals the
extent of self-help used by families, explores their favourite
remedies and analyses differences in approaches to medical matters.
Anne Stobart illuminates cultures of health care amongst women and
men, showing how 'kitchin physick' related to the business of
medicine, which became increasingly commercial and professional in
the 18th century.
