If you’re a wine lover, you are going to love this one. Hippocrates is considered the Father of Medicine – does the Hippocratic Oath ring a bell? – and this medical expert actually used wine in many of his remedies.
Wine was actually used as a healing antiseptic for wounds in order to soothe the sores and help heal the wound more efficiently – thanks polyphenols!
Hippocrates also used wine as a way to lower fevers and help patients sweat out their ailments. Not so bad of an ancient remedy.
