--S-A-- Ancient Egypt Meds: Prayer, Laxatives

[Guest guest]

Interestingly, it was the Egyptians who were first recorded to have used my

favorite remedy, oleander, to treat cancer in the 8th century BC, or so says

the ACS website.

 

The medicinal use of oleander dates back at least 3500 years to the ancient

Babylonians and Mesopotamians.

 

Of course, it should be noted that oleander is a highly toxic plant and

should not be ingested in raw form, nor should anyone who does not know what

they are doing attempt to use it in any form.

 

Live long, live well, live happy!
