The most that could be done was that various concoctions of herbs might be administered to relieve the symptoms - there was no known cure. Headaches were relieved by rose, lavender, sage and bay. Sickness or nausea was treated with wormwood, mint, and balm. Lung problems were treated with liquorice and comfrey. Vinegar was used as a cleansing agent as it was believed that it would kill disease. But bloodletting was commonly thought to be one of the best ways to treat the plague.

In mediaeval times the Black Death was prevented by wearing a diamond ring on the ring finger of the left hand; this was on the basis that diamond was inviolate and the left ring finger had a vein that ran directly to the heart. Regrettably, since modern times, that vein has disappeared as a result of McDonalds and so the inviolate diamond power is entirely counteracted. This means that if your armpit is even slightly sore then you have the bubos and it is TOO LATE.

There was no affective medical treatment in the Middle Ages. There were superstitious practices that included burning incense, keeping the rooms heated, even in Summer. The most effective counter measure was burning the clothes and bedding of the dead.
