Strange healing ways of Stone Age people

Stone Age (Stone Age) is a long prehistoric period about 3 million years ago, in which people used stone to make things. Due to the simple, wild life, human healing is also very primitive, as some of the following tips.

1. How to cure digestion

In the Discovery Age (or Great geographical discoveries, is a common way of talking about geographic discoveries that took place between the mid-15th and the 16th centuries), the first Europeans were connected lost to the tribes that lived under the Stone Age technology and found that these tribes once possessed a rather strange cure. They used clay to support digestive diseases.

At that time, Europeans said that this is an eating disorder. However, according to recent research, Stone Age people have practiced effective healing. Historians believe that eating soil is probably one of the first medical techniques used by humans.

Eating earth supports digestion from the Stone Age.

In-depth studies show that Stone Age tribes have dug clay, boiled it and then ate it to help fight writhing abdominal pain. In particular, prehistoric people have chosen land in places where there are many living microorganisms, which proves that Stone Age people know to eat clay to help fight toxins and reduce the risk of disorder. stomach.

Pregnant women can also eat this soil to prevent vomiting. It may sound strange and terrible, but actually thousands of years ago, our ancestors ate the soil for healing, a very rudimentary treatment for illness.

According to modern science, the phenomenon of soil eating has been known for a long time and is not rare in Vietnam and in the world. According to survey data, in Kenya, 285 students, 73% of them are addicted to land, 56% of pregnant women.

In the UK, about 3,000 women admitted to eating bricks and soil because of their craving for pregnancy. So in the UK one has to import land from Bengal, India, processing into a so-called Sikor sold to women and children, and in Germany people also sell all kinds of Healing soil in the Shop for groups of people who need this menu.

2. Handling and disinfecting wounds of ancient Egypt

Ancient Egyptian doctors had a way of handling and disinfecting a very strange wound, whereby, when a warrior was injured, any person in the tribe could timely rescue the wounded, no let them die from wounds. The secret of the treatment technique is to fight infection for the meat and then process it to the bone.

Through studying unearthed warriors, archaeologists learned how ancient Egyptians patched and disinfected wounded wounded soldiers on the head with a piece of leather, using heavy sticks and sharp arrows. reinforce the creation of a cushioned patch on the wound. Those are the best that prehistoric doctors have ever done.

Ancient Egyptians believed that stopping the evil spirit from sneaking into the wound could cure the wound.

Ancient Egyptians seem to believe that evil spirits can sneak into open wounds, this is a dawn and rudimentary understanding of the mechanism of infection. So they look for ways to patch the wound, even with a stool containing antibiotic and protein to help patients heal.

Stone Age doctors may have done the same thing and like the Egyptians, they thought that preventing evil spirits would prevent infection. But whatever they did was always keep the wounds clean.

According to the world literature, about 3,000 BC, the Egyptians used to use only those made from animal gut to sew wounds and cure fractures, drill skulls to free 'evil spirits 'infiltrate the nerves for patients.

3. Obstetrical instructions of Stone Age women

In the Stone Age, childbirth is quite dangerous. Without modern medicine, giving birth can easily lead to death. In some places, an estimated one-third of women die during childbirth. But not all, in some tribes people have had basic and scientific innovations on how to give birth to women when they are born.

According to archaeologists, through the excavation data, many stone age tribes have specific strategies, procedures and guidelines to help women to survive safe and healthy. This has been demonstrated through drawings that guide births on the walls of the cave.

According to some archaeologists, cave drawings have been found, referring to the birth procedures or a Stone Age version of the joy of the coming child. Saying short is more than a woman's 'process' beyond labor. According to this process, it seems that the woman is in an upright position with her arms supported on the waist, the position that the ancients considered the best for the baby to be born with human resources available. mother, fetus is faster and less painful.

Then these drawings guide the woman to lean forward, ie the second stage of childbirth. Caves with drawings are not their homes but public maternity homes. With the birth of these caves, it will become the original maternity ward.

In theory, the future mother will be put into the cave so they can be better cared for. In the cave there is space and taste that are optimized to not attract wildlife.

4. Use ants to sew wounds

Stone Age doctors can perform surgeries, and stitch those wounds. This shows that since the Stone Age people know how to sew wounds but each place has different ways.

In Egypt, they use linen as sewing thread and in Europe, people use only catgut (or just made from cat gut). But the most interesting technique when sewing is to use ants. In India and some parts of Africa, the original tribes sewed wounds by allowing ants to crawl into the patient's body and bite the wound.

Use ants to sew the wound of the Stone Age doctor.

As soon as the insect attaches to the two into torn skin, the doctor will grab it. The ant will die and leave two more claws tightly together. It is believed that this technique dates back to the Neolithic Period. It's hard to say exactly how they used it, but at this time in India, people used ants to cut holes in the wounded gut.

5. Acupuncture of ancient people

Based on the remaining traces of a 5,300-year-old mummy found in the border mountains between Italy and Austria, scientists found that European Stone Age people began using acupuncture. In fact, people here used acupuncture procedures to treat Otzi Iceman (Otzi Tape).

Thus, acupuncture techniques have been used before Chinese people for more than 2,000 years. Otzi Iceman, believed to have suffered from bladder and abdominal pain while still alive, but the ancient doctors still do not know what happened to the Otzi Tape. It is now possible to guess because worms are growing inside the body, but the ancient people still use acupuncture, the best way they can.

Otzi tapes are acupuncture needles made from stone or bone. First the doctor applied the acupuncture points to herbs to keep clean, disinfect. Acupuncture does not fix the underlying problem (ie, abdominal pain caused by worms), but it is effective at relieving pain. Acupuncture also showed an amazing understanding of the medical technology of the ancient people, but the descendants of the Otzi Iceman in Europe now forget it after nearly 5,000 years of existence.

6. Animal manure is used in medical treatment

Women in ancient Greece believed crocodile faeces could be used as a powerful contraceptive by bringing it into the vagina. In ancient Egypt, warriors applied animal manure to heal wounds. Sheep feces are used in Scottish folk medicine to treat smallpox. Fresh pig manure is believed to prevent nosebleeds.

However, scientists advise us not to test these methods at home.

7. Breast augmentation with glass and rubber balls

Since ancient times, some women have applied tropical treatments or growth creams to make their breasts bigger. They also regularly use coconut oil to massage the skin of the chest area.

Until 1895, the first breast surgery was performed by Dr. Vincenz Czerny. He uses materials such as ivory, glass balls, rubber and fillers to enlarge women's breasts.

8. Use garlic for pregnancy testing

With limited anatomical knowledge, ancient doctors are not sure if a woman is pregnant. In 1350 BC, a woman was urinated into a grain of wheat. If the seed sprouted, it means that she is pregnant.

Another way is to put a branch of garlic or an onion branch in the girl's vagina and leave it overnight. The next morning if the woman's breath smells of garlic, that means she is not pregnant. The ancients said that if they were not pregnant, the uterus would open, so the onion smell could reach the mouth due to inhalation of onions. In the case of pregnant women, the uterus will close, so her breath will not smell onion.
