9. Steam Cabinets Were Used To Calm Patients
A lot of the machinery that people used to use for medical practices are just quite disturbing in the way that they look. Massive pieces of equipment were built to try and treat very common side effects. Nowadays, we know better and are able to treat a lot of people with mental health related illnesses with various types of therapy and medication, and don’t need these huge creepy devices to treat patients.
Though this picture is still pretty creepy to look at, many people still use steam cabinets today. They believe it to be a way to release toxins in the body and that it also might lead to weight loss. Regardless of whether or not they actually do help people, it’d still be a rather disturbing sight to walk into a room and see these people in boxes all staring back at you with nothing but their heads visible.
