Medicine In Egypt
Ancient Egyptians did not have a clear
dichotomy between both medicine and magic,
they considered health and illness resulted from
a person’s relationship with the universe
including people, animals, good and bad spirits
Ancient Egyptians got a surprising
knowledge about anatomy, a lot of
diseases of the osseous, alimentary,
respiratory, circulatory, genital, muscular,
nervous, ocular, auditory, and olfactory
systems were described in details.
They identi
fi
ed the function of the
heart, and its relation to the two
types of blood vessels, in addition,
cerebrospinal
fl
uid was known to
them too .
Within Anicent Egypt a lot of disease and sickness emerged throughout
the civilization. They were the
fi
rst to perform surgery and Medicine

records
–First known Medical Doctors

fi
cation and learning the human body

Ancient Egyptian Papyrus, and Medical Records
Papyrus was used to keep medical records of medicine in the ancient civilization. Papyri or papyrus was the type of
paper or water plants that are cut into strips and tightly pressed to create a surface that is able to be written or drawn on.
The mummi
fi
cation process took a lot of medical knowledge to be able to
mummify someone, by 1500 b.c. Egyptians had perfected the mummifying
process. The steps were
– Remove intestines, stomach, liver, lungs, and brain, but heart was intact
– Cover the body with natrons (salt like substance) to dry it out
– Treat dry body with resins, oil, and wax to seal against moisture
– Stuff body with straw to make it look lifelike
– Add perfume
– Wrap body in linen bandages
– Place body in cof
fi
n
– Put cof
fi
n in tomb
The types of diseases Egyptians suffered
from were as numerous and varied as they are
in the present day and included bilharsiasis (a
disease contracted and spread through
contaminated water); trachoma (an infection
of the eye); malaria; dysentery; smallpox;
pneumonia; cancer; heart disease; dementia;
typhoid; arthritis; high blood pressure;
bronchitis; tuberculosis; appendicitis; kidney
stones; liver disease; curvature of the spine;
the common cold, and ovarian cysts.
Many different types of drugs from
animal sources are recommended
in the medical papyri, Fat and
grease from different animals are
mentioned in various prescriptions,
sometimes for internal use and
other times topically as a treatment
or as a base in the formation of
ointments. Goose-fat was a part of
a remedy used orally to remove
pain and is also used externally for
relaxation
