Warum Mittelalterliche Bauern Nie Zecken Fürchteten Und Welches Kraut Sie Schützte

Medieval farmers spent every day of their lives in tall grass. No insect repellent. No other remedies. And yet, no documented mass deaths from tick-borne diseases. How was that possible? The answer lies in almost forgotten knowledge. Knowledge that science confirms today, but which we almost completely lost in just a few decades. In this video, we explore how medieval farmers, monks, and herbalists protected themselves with tansy, thyme, oregano, and concentrated plant extracts from monastery laboratories. What we now find in small bottles in drugstores was once cultivated by imperial decree and passed down from generation to generation. This isn't nostalgia. This is history with a question that still concerns us today.
