On the Oregon Trail, dysentery was commonly treated through a combination of herbal remedies and available medications. Pioneers often used willow bark and other plants with astringent properties to help alleviate symptoms. Maintaining hydration was crucial, so they would encourage drinking plenty of water, despite the risk of contaminated sources. However, medical knowledge was limited, and many treatments were based on trial and error, with varying degrees of success.
