Answer 2

Women soaked cloths with perfume and covered their faces with them. This was to block out the stink of all people around them, as nobody had any deodorant yet.
Also, for constipation, most people had a small but heavy round piece of copper in their bathroom which they would swallow to induce a bowel movement.
Get this, when it came out, they washed it off and put it back in the cabinet.
Aren't you glad you asked?
