History Happens

In this episode, we explore the world of the medieval tooth-drawer, a skilled craftsperson managing dental pain without modern medicine. We learn about their extensive practical training and the blend of herbal knowledge, rudimentary tools, and unwavering presence required for their daily work in bustling market squares and intimate private homes.

In this episode, we slowly explore how everyday behaviors like grief, introversion, vivid dreams, epilepsy, and mood swings were once misunderstood as signs of possession or madness in medieval times. Over the course of nearly an hour, we gently walk through these stories and beliefs in a calm, soothing way designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift off to sleep.
