In the 1800s, people ate mummies as medicine?!

Not even joking—back in Victorian Europe, powdered mummy was sold as medicine.
Like, they’d grind up Egyptian mummies (actual human remains!) and use it to treat everything from headaches to internal bleeding. It was called “mumia” and people believed it had healing properties.
Imagine thinking your aspirin came from an ancient pharaoh.
What’s the weirdest old-timey “cure” you’ve heard of?

Yeah that one’s wild—and real! People back then had zero chill. I read about how folks used to drink mercury or use arsenic in beauty products too. Probably the weirdest to me is “corpse touch” therapy—where people with boils or skin issues were told to touch a dead man’s hand to get cured. Creepy and definitely not FDA-approved.
