What kind of medicines did people use in the Middle Ages?

The ointment used on Yvain is a good example of what Medieval medicine was like. It comes from a 'wise-woman', Morgan le Fay, rather than a doctor, and has probably been made from herbs, like most medicine of the time. This is a medieval recipe for an ointment to cure headaches and pains in the joints:

Take equal amounts of radish, bishopwort, garlic, wormwood, helenium, cropleek and hollowleek.

Pound them up, and boil them in butter with celandine and red nettle.

Keep the mixture in a brass pot until it is a dark red colour.

Strain it through a cloth and smear on the forehead or aching joints.
