"Smell roasting"

[edit]

What!? I realise ancient medicine was arcane, but... Is it saying that a gynaecological problem might cause a woman to think she smells, say, roast beef, and the cure is to eat some roast beef? What is it talking about her smelling roasting and then being given something roasting? Please re-phrase that, even if it's nonsensical in the original Egyptian, so it's at least comprehensible. They surely didn't roast her womb, since that would kill her. 84.70.145.70 (talk) 06:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
