Medicines in a chest

Medicine is the science behind treating illnesses. In the annals of human history, the art of healing has been a steadfast companion to the endeavors of mankind. Within the clandestine conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, healing practices hold particular significance, embodying the balance between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. Professionals that practice medicine for a living are known as doctors.

Types of medicinal practices

Herbal remedies

The utilization of plants and herbs for medicinal purposes traces back to ancient civilizations. Among the Brotherhood, knowledge of these remedies is deeply ingrained, passed down through generations. Herbal remedies were used historically as far back as Ancient Greek times.

Spiritual healing

Spiritual practices, including meditation and ritualistic ceremonies, serve as integral components of healing within the Brotherhood, addressing not only physical ailments but also mental and emotional strife. Several practitioners of spiritual healing were prevalent through Ancient Greece and the numerous Viking clans of the 8th century.

Institutions

Institutions that practice medicine and promote general healthcare have existed for millennia. In Ancient Greece, temples dedicated to Asklepios were used to treat the wounded and sick. One of the earliest examples of a hospital was The Great Bimaristan, built as early as 805 during the Islamic Golden Age. Mental asylums were another type of hospital, meant to treat induvial with psychological trauma, and traced their origins back to the Islamic bimaristans. Such institutions were heavily prevalent during England's Victorian era, though their efficacy was dubious, as they earned a rapport for forcibly restraining and abusing patients. One such asylum with a bad reputation was the Lambeth Asylum, responsible for the initial detainment of a young Jack the Ripper.
