FAQ About Hippocrates
What role does the concept of 'humors' play in Hippocratic medicine?
The concept of 'humors' was central to Hippocratic medicine, where health was thought to be maintained by the balance of four bodily fluids: blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. This theory, although outdated now, influenced medical practice for centuries and was integral to Hippocratic diagnostics and treatment.
