Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is more commonly known as TB and was formerly commonly known as consumption.

Raw eggs or lightly cooked eggs were used in the diet of people suffering from tuberculosis as they were meant to build up the strength of the invalids.

Turnip juice was given as part of the treatment of tuberculosis. Carrots were another remedy for the condition. Myrrh, which was thought to be an expectorant and decongestant, was also used as a remedy for TB.
