What household resources were available for medical self-help? To what extent did households make up remedies based on medicinal recipes?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on previously unpublished household papers ranging from recipes to accounts and letters, this original account shows how health and illness were managed on a day-to-day basis in a variety of 17th-century households. It reveals the extent of self-help used by families, explores their favourite remedies and analyses differences in approaches to medical matters. Anne Stobart illuminates cultures of health care amongst women and men, showing how 'kitchin physick' related to the business of medicine, which became increasingly commercial and professional in the 18th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Stobart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472580346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472580344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017","brand":"Anne Stobart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935479955711,"sku":"9781472580344","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3212b819-b554-4a6b-86c2-867e742164a5.jpg?v=1681420047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/household-medicine-in-seventeenth-century-england-anne-stobart-9781472580344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
