Galen accepted the view that disease was the result of an imbalance between blood, phlegm, yellow bile and blood bile. He also shared the belief in natures healing power and developed treatments to restore the balance of the four humours. He was very fond of bloodletting.

Hippocrates theories were the basis of his work, and a breakthrough in medical knowledge. He used the idea of the four humours to create his opposites theory.

Also, according to Galen at least, he made his reputation as doctor for the gladiators, saving lives that other doctors couldn't hope to save.
