In the 16th century, when people fell ill, they often relied on a combination of herbal remedies, traditional medicine, and the guidance of local healers or apothecaries. Bloodletting and purging were common practices, based on the humoral theory that imbalances in bodily fluids caused illness. Additionally, some sought the help of physicians, though their services were often costly and not widely accessible. Superstitions and religious rituals also played a significant role in the treatment of diseases during this period.

What would homesteaders do if they were ill?

They would try all kinds of homemade cures and just hope the illness would go away. In much of the 19th century and until well into the 20th century, even expensive city doctors had very little knowledge of what caused diseases of how you could effectively cure them. Nothing was known about the workings of bacteria, viruses, infections, antibiotics or the advantages of hygiene in treating patients. So basically homesteaders were hardly worse off than people living in the city with access to doctors. If you fell ill, you either recovered somehow or died.
