You, Will, Be Very Surprised When You Hear about the Interesting Birth Control Methods Used in Ancient Egypt

There was a very interesting method used by pregnant women in ancient Egypt. Let’s say in advance that you will be very surprised when you hear about this method. Come on, let’s take up this interesting topic together.

In 1898, Sir Flinder Petrie was discovered by a forensic scientist Kahoun Papyrus, discovered in 1862, Smith papyrus, the Ebers Papyrus in ancient Egypt, and in 1873 uncovered Pregnancy, pregnancy tests, and information on varicose veins and held a variety of urinary tract diseases.

According to the information obtained from these papyri, a woman who suspected that she was pregnant watered two bags, one filled with wheat and the other with barley, with her urine every morning. The same method was used by another woman who was not pregnant. Thus, after this procedure, if the bags watered by the woman who suspects that she is pregnant germinate earlier than the other woman, it becomes certain that the woman who suspects that she is pregnant.

Now hold tight, if the wheat and barley bags that both women watered germinate at the same time, it becomes clear that there is no pregnancy.

In fact, the logic in this application is that pregnant women reveal that barley and wheat bags bloom faster than the urine of people who are not pregnant because there are too many hormones in the urine they make in the morning. If you’re ready, let’s move on to other more interesting details about birth control methods in Ancient Egypt.

With this method used in ancient Egypt, the sex of the baby could even be determined in advance. If the seeds in the bags in which the pregnant woman urinated sprouted from the bag containing the wheat before, the gender of the baby was considered male, and if the barley sprouted first, the gender of the baby was considered a girl. Even the accuracy of this method, Prof. Dr. It was approved by Julias Manger in 1933 by laboratory testing. Prof. Dr. Hulusi Koker also acknowledges the scientific accuracy of this method, which was applied in Ancient Egypt, and says that it is still effective in determining the sex of babies.

When we look at it, we see that the pregnancy tests used today are designed to determine the number of hormone concentrations in a woman’s urine. In other words, you can understand that the method in ancient Egypt was applied in a more modern form in today’s conditions.

What about birth control methods that will keep your mouth open when you hear…

In ancient Egypt, women were inserting garlic and onions into the uterus (cervix) before sleeping at night to determine whether they were infertile. After this procedure, when women woke up in the morning, if they smelled garlic or onion in their nostrils, they would know that they might be pregnant. But if there is no smell in the nose, it would be understood that women cannot get pregnant because their tubes (women’s pregnancy tubes) are closed.

In another method, pregnancy was prevented by placing gold and silver rings made of non-rusting metals inside the wombs of women. records from the year 1850 show that a mixture of honey, acacia fruit, and acacia leaves was used as another contraceptive method in Egypt in the past. This mixture was completely prepared to be a spermicide, soaked in cotton or mohair (a material made of wool), and inserted into the vagina before sex.

Another surprising method of contraception used by the ancient Egyptians was that they rubbed a mixture into the vagina, in which crocodile manure was also included. Let’s not go past the information that animal feces have been used for birth control in Eastern civilizations in general history. In fact, it should not be surprising that elephant feces are not used to prevent pregnancy in India and the Middle East either.

Let us give you one more surprising piece of information: according to rumors, Cleopatra (69-30 BC) was the first to use the vibrator.

It is believed that Cleopatra satisfied herself by emptying the inside of a pumpkin and filling it with bees, thanks to the vibration that occurred. What’s interesting, isn’t it?
