I have a question on how they used to deal with wounds. And I don't just mean from battle. For example from what I understand Vikings and other such cultures would fight and practice fighting constantly to be better fighters.
I also practice fighting (non medieval ofc) and I am filled with inflammation and injuries. How the hell would they treat their inflammation. If herbs do you have any idea which ones?
I am really curious since I want to try and treat mine, plus I don't like taking too many pain killers since those don't really help in the long run.
(Reposting because my title didn't have a question mark..)
More can always be said, but you might find the following posts helpful:
u/BRIStoneman discusses the sort of medical text and knowledge that likely would have been available for medieval Scandinavians, including wound care
As far as the idea of viking military successes and their alleged individual prowess, u/BRIStoneman again offers useful insights here and here.
On a bit of a tangent, regarding the topic of the pop culture perception of individual military prowess and training of other famed historical "warrior cultures", u/Iphikrates addresses ancient Greek hoplite military training here, with a short focus on Sparta here (they also have multiple more in-depth posts on Sparta floating about the sub). (Dr Roel Konijnendijk has a great brief lecture and Q&A session on Youtube and there are several AskHistorians podcasts specifically on or brushing on the same topics if you'd rather have a listen)
As an aside, while there are definitely, somehow, worse places on Reddit for medical advice than r/askhistorians, it's not still not the place to learn about wound care if you'd got an active situation going on.
