Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book, written by a renowned medical historian, delves into the study of humoral pathology, a medical theory which dominated European medical practice from the time of the ancient Greeks until the 19th century. The author traces the development of this theory from its origins in Hippocrates' concept of the four humors to its elaboration by Galen and Avicenna. He examines the influence of humoral pathology on the practice of medicine, including the use of bloodletting, purging, and other treatments intended to restore the balance of humors in the body. The author also explores the social and cultural factors that contributed to the persistence of humoral pathology for over two thousand years, and he discusses the challenges to this theory that emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the role of humoral pathology in the history of medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
