How did people keep clean and healthy?

   If we the people look at the toilets in the medieval castles, we would think they were weird and disgusting. Their toilets were seats with holes that went down to a pit or a hole that all of the peoples' waste went. Sometimes if the castle were to get to dirty, the lord and lady would leave for a week or two and the whole castle would be swept, mopped, and scrubbed. Doctors believed that when people got sick that herbs or other plants could bring the patients back to full health. Just imagine if they had the same medical equipment we have to day. Hardly anybody would die of sickness.
   Hot baths were considered a luxury to people. Only the richest people could afford a hot bath or a soak. The tubs you would take your baths for the rich would be big and deep. Usually when ever families would take baths and they were not that wealthy they wouldn't even change the water in the tub. UMMMM NASTY!!!!!!
