Ancient Egyptian Medicine by M. Faiad is a fascinating exploration of how the ancient Egyptians understood the human body, diagnosed illness, and practiced healing thousands of years before modern science. Drawing on medical papyri, archaeological evidence, and temple inscriptions, the book reveals a sophisticated medical tradition that blended science, spirituality, and practical experience.

Inside, readers will discover:

  How they viewed anatomy, the heart, circulation, and the channels of the body.

  Herbal recipes, surgeries, bandaging techniques, and healing rituals recorded in the Ebers and Edwin Smith Papyri.

• Healing in temples

  The role of priests, magic, incantations, and the connection between medicine and religion.
