The Black Death was tried to be cured by people what they would of tried was cut the buboes (the black swellings) or place a frog or toad (toad was recommended better!) on the buboes until the frog/toad blew up! and also some people would of drank the own urine (wee)! and even drank vinegar
They blamed it on God's wrath, some believed that it was because the world was too full of sinners so God is punishing them with a plague and they must all repent. There are cases of people intentionally flogging and hurting themselves to repent and avoid the disease. They are cases of mass hysteria and outbreaks of sporadic "dancing" or seizures caused by plague hysteria. Many things and people were blamed for it including Jews, vampires, and witches and many innocent people were burned at the stake.
hi i would like u to tell me wot kind of cures or treatments they had for the black death plaque? There weren't really any treatments until modern times. It still crops up occasionally. You would need to ask a medical professional about current treatment. In olden times, there was no real treatment. There were doctors, but they didn't do much. The best thing then was to try to prevent it. It sounds very mean to us now, but they might board up a house with sick people in it to keep them from spreading the disease. They didn't understand germs yet, but had a pretty good idea that sickness could pass from person to person.
The Black Death Pandemic was one of the very most devastating epidemics in history. It is thought to have originated in China or Central Asia.
People would not have dealt with this epidemic lightly, however there were not many treatments for this disease, unfortunately, because of how limited they were with technology and medicines. The plague terrorized millions of people from the years 1348 and 1350.
Vinegar and water treatment
If a person gets the disease, they must be put to bed. They should be washed with vinegar and rose water
Lancing the buboes
The swellings associated with the Black Death should be cut open to allow the disease to leave the body. A mixture of tree resin, roots of white lilies and dried human excrement should be applied to the places where the body has been cut open.
Bleeding
The disease must be in the blood. The veins leading to the heart should be cut open. This will allow the disease to leave the body. An ointment made of clay and violets should be applied to the place where the cuts have been made.
Diet
We should not eat food that goes off easily and smells badly such as meat, cheese and fish. Instead we should eat bread, fruit and vegetables
Sanitation
The streets should be cleaned of all human and animal waste. It should be taken by a cart to a field outside of the village and burnt. All bodies should be buried in deep pits outside of the village and their clothes should also be burnt.
Pestilence medicine
Roast the shells of newly laid eggs. Ground the roasted shells into a powder. Chop up the leaves and petals of marigold flowers. Put the egg shells and marigolds into a pot of good ale. Add treacle and warm over a fire. The patient should drink this mixture every morning and night.
Witchcraft
Place a live hen next to the swelling to draw out the pestilence from the body. To aid recovery you should drink a glass of your own urine twice a day.

In some cities and areas they isolated the sick by walling them into an alley or they put them on an island in Venice, Italy to die.
Made them as comfortable as possible and prayed for them - that's really all there was at that time.
There was no treatment for the Black Death in the Middle Ages when it decimated Europe. Now, common antibiotics take care of it with little difficulty.
By silly "cures".
Most of the people in the middle ages had faith in God. When the Black Death came, many lost faith because they thought God should have helped them and saved the faithful people from the Black Death.
Nothing. Dude it was the black death during the middle ages.
one of them was the Black Death
No, the black death did not end the middle ages. The black death caused a lot of changes, some important, such as causing members of the nobility to try to tempt serfs to move onto their land and away from the land they were bound to. But the middle ages continued for another hundred years or more.
people would carry small pouches of herbs and spices. ( this is only what they would do in the middle ages.)

If when you talk about the high Middle Ages you mean towards the end then yes because the Black Death (Bubonic Plague) brought the people to notice that they need cleaner environments. Which Lead to the Renaissances.
