Thousands of years Before the European invasion of Africa, African people had developed a medical system based on plants and herbs to cure illnesses. Kemet, Southern Africa, West Africa and parts of East Africa had the most advanced medicine. They used plants with salicylic acid for pain, kaolin for diarrhea, and other extracts to kill bacteria.
The achievements by doctors in ancient Egypt KMT were incredible. Findings obtained by archaeologists have produced evidence that in 3000 B.C., the Egyptians performed successful brain surgeries. Penicilin is conventionally thought of as one of the great achievements of the twentieth century. It was taught in western school, obviously them controlling the literature, that the antibacterial properties of mould were discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928.
However, It was among many medicines deployed by the ANCIENT EGYPTIANS: Egyptian physicians made use of a wide variety of medicinal plants same as those around Africa, but the most numerous remedies were purgatives and emetics. The cathartic oil of the castor plant was used both as an internal drug and as a medication for wounds and irritated areas.
