🌿🕯️ The Healing Gardens Medieval Women Grew Behind Their Homes 📜😴 | History for Sleep
Unwind to a calm, sleep-friendly walk through small plots fenced with wattle, where women tended herbs for kitchen, cradle, and sickroom. In soft, even narration, we follow spring beds of plantain, yarrow, and calendula for salves; chamomile, mint, and meadowsweet for gentle teas; sage, rosemary, and thyme hung to dry for winter; and fennel and dill saved for colic and bread. We notice quiet textures: dew on leaves at dawn, a mortar and pestle tapping by the door, linen laid to strain syrups, and beeswax warming for small salves. Paths lead from garden to still room, where rosewater drips from an alembic, electuaries are stirred with honey, and jars are labeled in a neat hand. Gently, we trace the year—sowing after Easter, St. John’s Eve harvests, late-summer bundles tied beneath rafters, and autumn roots stored cool in crocks. We touch everyday remedies without drama: poultices for scrapes, possets for a cough, willow bark for aches; and we note cautions around stronger plants kept out of reach. This is a world of care measured in habit—beds weeded, paths swept, seeds saved—where neighborly knowledge, prayer, and patient work made a small garden into a household pharmacy.
