Ancient Egypt Medicine

Ancient Egyptian medicine combined practical treatments with spiritual beliefs. Physicians used herbs, minerals, and animal products for remedies, often documented in medical papyri. They practiced surgery, dentistry, and employed techniques like massage and heat therapy. Magic and prayers were integral, as Egyptians believed health was linked to the gods. They recognized the importance of hygiene, with practices promoting cleanliness, like bathing and wound care. Despite their limited understanding of anatomy compared to modern medicine, their approaches laid foundational practices, contributing to the evolution of medical knowledge through time.
