The research material for the article was based on Polish medical texts from the 16th century which present a valuable source of knowledge about the past concepts of health and disease, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options available at that time. These early printed texts shed light on what other things, apart from health, were important to people in the times of Renaissance, and what advice was popularly sought. The cited medical works provide answers to many questions, including instructions how to get rid of freckles and wrinkles, dye hair, whiten teeth or obtain a dream figure. They also offer practical advice on how to eat, care for hygiene, and even how to check if one’s wife was faithful. The lead motif of the article does not seem to differ much from what constitutes an important component of life and research also in the 21st century.
