Abstract:
The ancient Egyptian medical texts provide us with specialised cases focusing on the female part of the population. They mention various types of problems related to women’s diseases but also conception, pregnancy and birth. The paper intends to compare the preserved ancient texts with methods of traditional herbal treatments used in Egypt today.
