| Ninth-century headache? St. Gall 904 (ca. 850) |
"Headaches you will enchant: take some earth, touch your breast three times and say: My head hurts, why does it hurt? It does not hurt."
Pseudo-Pliny (9th century)Good old denial: it's better than ibuprofen.
This is actually early Christian Science!
ReplyDeleteI don't see any science in it. How does that activity cure headache in the first place? Somebody please explain. I cure my headache by sleeping and taking plenty of water. It takes some time but I get relief from headache for sure.
