Eating Dead as a Medical Cure
We are not sure how medical methods were invented in the early days, and even those we hear of, we are not sure how true they are. We all know painkillers and antibiotics are a thing of the long history and were also needed in the early times to rid the body of pain and agony. However, some people believed that eating corpses would give them the results they are looking for.
Eating Dead As A Medical Cure
Records have it that in the 17th century, there was a practice known as medicinal cannibalism, a very disturbing thought. Doctors would source pieces of body parts from corpses, ground them, and people would consume it to stop bleeding, headaches, and other pains they experienced. There is also a notion that King Charles II consumed a concoction they called “King’s Drop,” a mixture made of alcohol and dried human skulls.
