Four Humors

4 Humors • Essentially, this theory holds that the human body is filled with

four basic substances, called humors, which are in balance when a person is healthy. All diseases and disabilities supposedly resulted from an excess or deficit of one of these four humors.

• These deficits were thought to be caused by vapors inhaled or absorbed by the body. The four humors are black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Greeks and Romans, and the later Muslim and Western European medical establishments that adopted and adapted classical medical philosophy, believed that each of these humors would wax and wane in the body, depending on diet and activity.

• When a patient was suffering from a surplus or imbalance of one of these four fluids, then said patients' personality and or physical health could be negatively affected. This theory was closely related to the theory of the four elements: earth, fire, water and air; earth predominantly present in the black bile, fire in the yellow bile, water in the phlegm, and all four elements present in the blood

What I have done that is significantEvents:

Introduction• The Ancient Greeks built a large settled

civilisation around the Mediterranean between 800-400BC

• Ancient Greece wasn’t one big country• It was made up a several smaller ‘city states’

organised in different ways• Some were aristocracies (ruled by the rich)• Some were monarchies (ruled by a king)• Some were democracies (ruled by the people)Greek city states competed with each other to be

the best at things

Government

Economy• The Greeks were settled, they traded and became

rich.• They had slaves so had the money and time to

spend developing ideas and theories

• Like the Egyptians the Greeks had many gods• They explained events and nature by reference to the

gods – for instance war might occur because Zeus was angry and illness could be taken away by the god of healing Askelpios

• Large temples called Askelpians were built in honour of the god of healing where sick people went for care

Religion

War• The Ancient Greeks were frequently at war with

their neighbours the Persians• Wars involved hand to hand fighting causing

many open wounds and injuries

• The Greeks could afford to spend time and money on education

• They built primary schools and secondary schools .

• Learning, thinking, writing and philosophy were highly valued in Ancient Greece.
