There were several different important types of medieval medicine, but there were certain types of scientific understanding none of them had. They did not have germ theory, which was developed in the 19th century, and they did not have understanding of chemistry. Both of these are used today. Also, medieval medicine had an much less complete understanding of human anatomy than today's medicine.
Medieval medicine was a mix of different traditions. They included folk medicine, the classical medicine of ancient Rome and Greece, and the medicine imported from Islamic lands.
Folk medicine was then rather like what it is today, chicken soup for a cold, and that sort of thing. It did whatever worked, even though no one really knew why it worked, or, for that matter, whether it worked.
Classical medicine prescribed whatever it said to do in a book from certain ancient authors; ultimately, the goal was to follow the book, with only secondary consideration for whether it did any good.
Islamic medicine used a primitive version of the scientific method, which recorded results, analyzed effectiveness mathematically, and shared information. But it did not have the science we have, and was only beginning to develop it.
some of the medieval medicines are still used today. One of the medicines still used today is the medicine of witchcraft or religious healing. telling the lord to heal the person that you are trying to heal. monks use this to help people that have no other options.

The biggest difference between today's food and that of the Middle Ages is that we have a number of crops came from the New World and were unknown to medieval European people. These crops include potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins and similar squash, such New World beans as kidney beans, American corn (maize). Medieval people also did not have turkeys, for the same reason, but they did eat swans and peacocks.
