Women Drank Solutions Made From Dried Beaver Testicles to Prevent Pregnancy

Back in the 1500s, contraception methods were as strange as they were unpleasant. One of the most notorious “remedies” involved a potion made from alcohol and powdered beaver testicles. Women drank it in the hopes of preventing pregnancy.

As unbelievable as it sounds, this practice was taken seriously at the time. Thankfully, medicine has come a long way since then — no more rodent bits needed.
