The most famous medicine in ancient Egypt:
1. Smith's Papyrus: The excerpted content is dedicated to the surgical treatment of trauma and fractures. There are 48 chapters, each section discusses A disease of a body part or organ and its treatment. In 1889, another volume of medical papyrus was discovered in Lahom in the Fayoum region of Lower Egypt, known as the Lahom Papyrus. The time was around the turn of the 12th and 13th dynasties, that is, AD From the 19th century BC to the 18th century BC, this is the oldest medical document in the world discovered today. Judging from this, at least in the late Middle Kingdom, there were medical works in Egypt. Since the contents of the Lahom Papyrus are mainly extracted from the General Treatise on Medicine, it shows that this book was very influential from the Middle Dynasty to the New Kingdom. The excerpts from the "Lahom Papyrus" are all about gynecology. Unfortunately, it is incomplete and only three or four sections remain.
2. The Ebers Papyrus
The focus is on prescriptions for treating various diseases, including the name of the medicine, the dosage and the method of taking it. There are chapters on gastric disease, cardiovascular disease, and the surgical treatment of cysts and sores. Among them, there is a description of stomach problems that is not found in other medical papyri.
