In the medieval period, it was common to use snail slime as a mediacl ointment for burns and scalds on the skin. This practice is still carried through to this day.

Continuity- 
Snail slime is still used in modern science (for healing minor injuries). Recent research has shown that snail slime contain antioxidants, antiseptic, anaesthetic, anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antiviral properties as well as collagen and elastin; properties that we now know are vital for skin repair. Snail slime has also been used in skin care products and has been made into a sort of ‘trend’ over the years.

Change- 
When snail slime in used in today’s medical care, it is used mixed in with other properties whereas in the medieval period it was used straight from a snails live body. In the medieval period a snail was also only used for burns and scalds but today it is used in medical sciences as well as skin care products for the public. Wow.

It is believed to help cure epilepsy, mental disorders, migraines and other health problems by releasing pressure from the brain. A trephine, which is a utensil with a cylindrical blade, is usually used to perform this practice.
Continuity: This medical practice is still uncommonly used today, as in 2000, it was used to treat a woman suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and depression.
Change: This method is now used with anaesthetic and in a controlled, safe, and hygienic environment.]]> 2018-05-23 02:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262895699 https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262895810 In the medieval period, pipe systems were lined with lead (that was, of course, if they were lucky enough to have a pipe system) and the water was, by conventional standards, unpotable. Furthermore, the hierarchy and disparity between the classes ensured only the wealthy had access to bathrooms (privies) or other methods of waste disposal. Contemporary society has, however, advanced quite significantly. For example the existence of pipelines is essentially universal and not considered a privilege in developed countries and the quality of water has substantially increased. Some similarities between the modern world and the medieval period include: private companies owning water and the existnace of jobs involving the removal of waste (chiefly in developing counties?)]]> 2018-05-23 02:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262895810 https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262895959 Same

In medieval times, the people would be awake and feel all the pain as their limb or whatever was cut of, hot metal would be used to stop the bleeding. Nowadays the patient is given anaesthesia and put to sleep as the doctors perform the surgery. The cut would be stitched up.]]> 2018-05-23 02:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262896871 https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262896915 THIS IS A HEALTH PRACTISE

This led to a high demand for medical practice, especially in the battlefields. Malpractice was common due to the lack of education on medicinal and surgical procedures, the following quote being a prime example.

“They brought to me a knight with a sore on his leg; and a woman who was feeble-minded. To the knight I applied a small poultice; and the woman I put on diet to turn her humour wet.

Then a French doctor came and said, "This man knows nothing about treating them." He then said, "Bring me a sharp axe." Then the doctor laid the leg of the knight on a block of wood and told a man to cut off the leg with the axe, upon which the marrow flowed out and the patient died on the spot.

He then examined the woman and said, "There is a 🤬 in her head." He therefore took a razor, made a deep cross-shaped cut on her head, peeled away the skin until the bone of the skull was exposed, and rubbed it with salt. The woman also died instantly.

I asked them if I was needed any more, and when they said not I came home, having learned of their medicine what I knew not before.”

Usama ibn Munqidh, 'Autobiography' (c.1175) (Usama ibn Munqidh was a Muslim doctor)

Makeup in the medieval upper class society played a large role as it still does. Majority of the makeup practices such as wearing eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipsticks and eyebrow filling are still used. However, makeup is no longer restricted to the upper class and majority of women nowadays wear makeup. Another change from medieval Europe that is discontinued  is skin whiting is a practice that is discontinued in the world in favour for tanned skin, but places such as Jamaica still have skin whiting processes. Overall makeup still plays a role in people’s life 

Changes
- makeup no longer contains lead (however some cheaply     manufactured makeups contain lead)
- mouse hair no longer used to fill in eyebrows
- makeup is not restricted to just the upper class
- people more obsessed with having tanned skin

Continuity
- skin whiting products still exist in areas such as asia and jamaica 
- makeup is still worn
- some lip sticks still made using beeswax
- most lipstick pigments are similar colours]]> 2018-05-23 03:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/f49x08psv9m7/wish/262899284
