Medieval News: Ground Mouse and Cheese Mold: Looking for Medical Miracles in Medieval Manuscripts
Link to an interesting article in Der Spiegel (in English, I'm not that nuts) about examining medieval texts containing medical information and looking into the efficacy of various treatments.
I've always found folk medicine and herbal remedies interesting, especially when combined with a healthy dose of scientific research and basic caution. Nifty.

(Verification word has an opinion today: it says "make tabi", but I'd rather go barefoot, thank you.)
