S7 E10 • Horrid Health

Kinder

An offbeat look at the hideous history of health, from the invention of toilet paper to the healthy origins of the cornflake. Plus, how the Mayans believed that drinking urine could cure all ills, how the Tudors taught themselves how to swim again, how Victorians had a taste in beauty products that was literally shocking, and an in-depth look at Louis XIV's bottom problems.
