Wondrous Secrets of Medicine and Healing

Magical Healing Words: Doctors' Spells

A pharaonic doctor didn't just give out medicine made of herbs; he also believed that words held immense magical power! When a sick person took their medicine, the doctor would read special words and spells out loud, asking the gods to grant the patient a speedy recovery. They believed that while the medicine healed the body, the comforting words and sincere wishes healed the soul, making the patient feel happy and safe so they could get better much faster.
