Hippocrates discovered medicine in 400s BC.
Galen built upon Hippocrates' theory of the four humors by incorporating his own observations and anatomical studies, emphasizing the role of the body's organs and their functions in relation to health. He introduced the concept of the "pneuma," or vital spirit, which connected the humors to the body's physiological processes. Additionally, Galen categorized the humors not only by their qualities (hot, cold, wet, dry) but also by their corresponding organs, thereby creating a more comprehensive understanding of how imbalances could affect health and disease. This integration of anatomy and physiology marked a significant advancement in medical theory.
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates first popularize the theory that humors in the body contributed to the temperament of people. Melancholia was it was believed to be caused by an excess of black bile.
The Greek philosopher who promoted the doctrine of humors was Hippocrates. He believed that an imbalance of the four bodily fluids (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) could lead to illness, and his teachings laid the foundation for the practice of Western medicine.
