Medicine was among the branches of science that the ancient Egyptians put a lot of effort in and they excelled in accordingly.  They had an extensive study of medicine, and they left records of the various encounters that they made.  The oldest records in existence were from the period of 2000 B.C and 1500 B.C and are known as the six papyri (Sullivan, 2014).  However, amidst all the discoveries that were made, there was a distinction between the treatment of the Pharaohs and that of the ordinary people.

For the ordinary Egyptians, they still held on to the beliefs that spells were a cure for the sick and thus they would usually carry amulets to ensure that they were not infected at all (Ebeid, 2009).  As time went by, they started determining the physical causes that led to their illnesses with an objective of finding a cure.  The doctors would use drugs that they put efforts in extracting them from various herbs and minerals of which they advised the ill to take with beer or dough (Ebeid, 2009).   Their perception of the human body was fascinating for they believed they were like canals and whenever the people encountered a problem all they had to do was to unblock it.

The Pharaohs were treated by the senior physicians who had undertaken various practices, and they were proven to be better at it (Estes, 2013). The physicians would ensure that they made the accurate diagnosis of the illnesses in an attempt to make sure that the royals were taken care of appropriately (Estes, 2013).  Having access to various privileges was a significant advantage for the Pharaoh’s for it gave them a chance to clean up and eat healthy, therefore, avoiding any likelihood of contracting diseases.
