Tudor doctors wore beak-like masks stuffed with herbs and spices to protect themselves from the "miasma," or bad air, which they believed caused diseases. The aromatic herbs were thought to purify the air and shield the doctor from harmful odors associated with illness. This practice stemmed from a lack of understanding of germ theory, as they did not know that diseases were caused by pathogens rather than foul smells. The beak masks became an iconic symbol of medieval medicine.
