Some Medieval doctors believed that our bodies consisted of four humors, yellow bile, black bile, blood and phlegm, and if these humors became unbalanced, you became ill. They also thought God caused us to be ill if we had sinned. The illness was enough to terrify you and drive you out of your sins. And some beleived that if the alignment of the sun and planets were changed, it caused illness. They also beleived bad air/oddurs was a cause.
