What was one of the most common treatments of appalling wounds?

One of the most common treatments for appalling wounds, particularly during historical conflicts, was the use of poultices or dressings made from natural materials like herbs, cloth, or animal fat. These were applied to manage infection and promote healing. Additionally, techniques such as cauterization were often employed to stop bleeding, despite the pain and risk of further injury. Overall, the lack of advanced medical knowledge led to rudimentary and sometimes hazardous treatment methods.

Some were sentenced to death, although this was never implemented.
