This chapter examines domestic medical care in the seventeenth century, with a particular focus on women’s health. By analysing early modern cookbooks and medical manuscripts, the study investigates illnesses, health issues, and the daily discomforts women experienced, alongside the ingredients and remedies used to address them. Special attention is given to treatments for menstrual and pregnancy-related conditions, as well as advice on maintaining beauty - key aspects of women’s healthcare during this period. Cookbooks of the time often extended beyond culinary recipes to include practical home remedies for various ailments affecting women and their families. In contrast to the detailed medical treatises authored by male physicians, these texts prioritized accessible, pragmatic solutions over systematic analyses of disease symptoms or causes. This reflects the unique role of women as custodians of domestic medical knowledge, offering treatments tailored to the immediate needs of household care. This approach underscores the significant contributions of women to early modern healthcare, particularly in the field of home remedies and the management of women’s diseases, while also revealing how domestic medical practices differed from professional paradigms.
