Disease was common among early Celtic communities. Poor sanitation and ignorance resulted in a 
hospital of ailments, ranging from intestinal worms and eye complaints to dental disease and poorly- 
healed injuries. Nonetheless, there wasn‘t a total lack of medicine. Herbal remedies were doubtless 
widely used, and people certainly resorted to supernatural powers. Surgery was also conducted. 
Whether medicine was a speciality of, say, priests or local wise women is oblivious. There was a mix 
of herbal remedies, magic, religion, and limited surgery for those who could afford it and were 
prepared to risk its hazards and pains.
