THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN! This episode is probably not what you think. On this episode, Christi is joined by Erick, who happens to have the very best opening story so far in the short history of Curious Medicine! The two discuss both rectal and vaginal fumigation, common practices which occurred during Christi’s favorite time in recent history, the good ol’ Victorian era! Topics discussed include: tobacco smoke enemas; the Institution for Affording Immediate Relief to Persons Apparently Dead from Drowning; art from the 19th century depicting rectal fumigation and drowning; trends in vaginal fumigation (aka V-steaming) in ancient times and today; how, in ancient times, vaginal fumigation was used to determine virginity, reclaim virginity, and to tighten the vagina. We can’t make this stuff up! You won’t want to miss this Curious episode!
