Health in Egypt[edit | edit source]
Egyptians are known for their love of herbal remedies. In fact, many Egyptians prefer to use natural remedies over traditional medicine. This is because natural remedies often have fewer side effects than traditional medication.
One popular Egyptian herbal remedy is chamomile tea. Egyptians believe that chamomile can help with digestion and that it has a calming effect on the body. They also use mint to help with digestion and to freshen breath.
Another aspect of health in Egypt is their diet. Egyptians consume a lot of bread and starchy foods like rice and pasta. They also love their meat, especially beef and lamb. Egyptians also enjoy their sweets, like baklava and other pastries.
It's important to take care of your health, no matter where you are in the world. If you are ever feeling unwell in Egypt, you can use the vocabulary words we went over to communicate with your doctor.
