London Medieval Hygiene: What They Used Instead of Soap, Toothpaste, and Deodorant- 900–1200 AD

Описание: What did people in medieval London use before soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and running water?

Step into London between 900 and 1200 AD and discover the real story of medieval hygiene. This is not the usual myth about people simply living in filth. From ash-based cleansers and herbal rinses to bone combs, tooth powders, linen underlayers, bathhouses, and river washing, medieval Londoners had their own practical ways of staying clean, managing smell, treating wounds, and caring for the body.

In this cinematic historical storytelling video, we walk through an ordinary day in medieval London and explore how people washed their hands and faces, cleaned their hair, cared for their teeth, bathed at home or in public stews, freshened their clothes with herbs, and handled wounds, menstruation, and bodily odor in a crowded medieval city. You will also see how wealth, class, religion, trade, and changing urban life shaped hygiene over time.

This video challenges one of the most common myths in history and reveals a world that was harsher, stranger, and more intelligent than most people imagine.

If you love immersive history, medieval daily life, historical realism, and cinematic storytelling, this is for you.
