Does anyone have knowledge of ancient medicine? It doesn't necessarily matter what culture, I’m basically wondering if there was a standard method for dealing with flesh wounds (cleaning, cauterizing, stitching . . . etc.) Seems like even now, a wound that isn't careful cleaned and disinfected can easily become infected and fester. Did everyone simply die every time they took a minor cut, or was there a method of sterilization before the dawn of modern medicine? I’m looking to incorporate a ‘healer’ character into my novels but would like his knowledge and skills to be somewhat comparable to a medieval time-frame.
Thanks again for all your help,
