Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. The Hippocratic school believed that all illnesses were the result of an imbalance in the body of the four humours, fluids that when in health were naturally equal in amount. The four humours are, blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm. Hippocrates recommended that a physician was to always be tidy, honest, calm, understanding and serious.
