Weird and Dangerous Ancient Health Practices
People who are afraid of the dentist’s drill or faint at the sight of a needle might want to avoid reading this list of weird and dangerous ancient health practices. Modern technologies and accumulated knowledge make most modern healthcare procedures safe, painless, and, most importantly, effective.

However, people were ready for just about anything to stay healthy and alive.

Doctors normally prescribe "patent" prescriptions (despite the fact that they occasionally utilize that name).
