In earlier centuries, medical care was often difficult to access in rural areas. The journey to the nearest doctor was long, treatment was barely affordable for many farmers, and the isolation of many rural farms demanded the greatest possible self-reliance. Consequently, the rural population relied on folk medicine knowledge passed down through generations and initially attempted to cure themselves. The exhibition \u2018Bl\u00fchende Medizin\u2019 (Flourishing Medicine) at the \u00d6sterrreichisches Freilichtmuseum St\u00fcbing offers an overview of the development and significance of medicinal plants \u2013 from antiquity through the monastery gardens of the Middle Ages to folk medicine and its impact in the modern day. It highlights just how closely people\u2019s lives were once connected to nature \u2013 and how much of this ancient knowledge has been preserved to this day and continues to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flourishing Medicine \u2013 The Versatile Power of Plants<\/strong><br>17.05.2026 \u2013 31.10.2026<br>\u00d6sterreichisches Freilichtmuseum St\u00fcbing<br>8114 St\u00fcbing<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.museum-joanneum.at\">www.museum-joanneum.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17.05.2026 \u2013 31.10.2026 What we take for granted today was not always the case.
