Temperament Based Medicine
Temperament Based Medicine
Greek Medicine is the traditional, indigenous holistic healing system of Western civilization. It was first codified and systematized by the Greek philosopher – physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC) and subsequently developed and expanded by other physicians, most notably Galen, Dioscorides and Avicenna.
In the Islamic world, Greek Medicine is known as Unani Medicine or Unani Tibb. “Unani” is the Arabic word for “Ionian”, or Greek.
Greek Medicine was the original source and inspiration for many other natural, holistic and alternative medical systems that developed in Europe and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries, which include homeopathy and naturopathy. The exemplary life and teachings of Hippocrates have provided a shining source of inspiration to natural healers down through the ages.
