Hey there, history lovers!

We return from our unexpected break to bring you part 1 of the history of hysteria. In this episode, we cover the ancient origins of hysteria, including the famous wandering womb theory in Greek and Roman medicine, and how these ideas evolved in the medieval world. We also look into different cures for hysteria that existed in the ancient and medieval worlds: fumigation, rituals, exorcisms, and some more... hands on options, wink wink nudge nudge.
