Strange Medical Treatments From the Past

Did you know that in the 19th century, a common treatment for various ailments was “mummy powder”?
Physicians believed that consuming ground-up mummies could cure a wide range of conditions from headaches to stomach ulcers. This practice arose from the mistaken belief that the resin used in mummification had healing properties.
Mummies were imported from Egypt, ground into powder, and sold in apothecaries across Europe.
Despite its popularity at the time, this bizarre remedy was based on superstition rather than scientific evidence.
Today, it serves as a fascinating reminder of how far medical science has progressed in understanding the human body and its ailments.
