Between bishop's crook and elephant's trunk

Immerse yourself in the magical world of medicines and let yourself be intoxicated by the essences of ancient medicinal herbs and the soothing vapors of the bathhouses. We will follow in the footsteps of the clergy, apothecaries, and physicians, but we will also encounter some shady quacks. Learn more about curious methods of treatment, various remedies and why the historical pharmacies were decorated with wondrous ornaments such as crocodiles, unicorns or elk claws. We will meet many a superstitious peasant doctor, but beware, his methods and tinctures have it all.
