About this listen
🪣🕯️ Medieval hygiene was less about staying clean and more about not getting noticed. Baths were rare, water was suspicious, perfume replaced soap, and most people believed illness came from bad air rather than bacteria. From shared bathhouses to chamber pots and questionable medical advice, staying “clean” in the Middle Ages was a daily gamble.
So close your eyes and drift into a world of candlelight, wool clothing, and very low hygiene standards — where smelling bad was normal, and surviving was the real goal.
