Why were the ideas of Hippocrates and galen important for hundreds of years?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Galen was loved by his people mainly because he agreed with the idea of 'the one creator', this made people listen to what he says even if the idea was incorrect. this also links to the idea of Hippocrates and the 4 humors. Galen also believed in the idea of opposites, for example if you had a cold , you would need to eat or drink something hot. this shows us that he used his common sense and logic, and stayed away from supernatural ideas, like Hippocrates.

even though he couldn't dissect people, he used skeletons and bones from the grave yard. but he also used pigs and apes for his knowledge. this shows us that he was brought up in an environment were healing and medicine was well developed. even though , some of the ideas were wrong like to 2 jaw bones. people still agreed with him, because he had the same idea as the roman catholic churches, which gave him power amongst the people.

What does Hippocrates say about phlegm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Phlegm is a sticky material from your mucous membranes in your repiratory system. When you have a cold it might be yellowish brown. If there's an infection, it might be greenish brown. Normal phlegm is usually clear.
I presume you mean: "Phlegm"?

Phlegm is a liquid secreted by the mucous membranes.

The definition is limited to the mucus produced by the respiratory system and particularly that which is expelled by coughing("Sputum"). Phlegm in essence is a water based gel consisting of numerous immuno-type substances. Its composition varies depending on a number of factors, such as climate & level of health etc. Its colour can vary from clear to pale or dark yellow & green, from light to dark brown.

Basically, it is a vehicle through which the body attempts to flush out foreign invaders from the respiratory system.
'phlegm' is an English word, meaning spit, saliva.
It is also used to indicate 'unexcitability, steadiness, boringness', and is used in the adjective 'phlegmatic', meaning 'unexcitable, steady, boring'

How did Hippocrates improve medical knowledge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many practices in ancient Greek medical treatment are ascribed to Hippocrates, but very little is known about whether he instituted them himself of whether other or later physicians of his "school" instituted them. Most of our knowledge about him comes from the Greek physician Soranus who lived about 200 years after his death, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Reasonably certain is that his major contribution was the insight that illnesses were not sent by the gods, but that they had natural causes. Furthermore he probably did start the practice of systematically analyzing and describing the symptoms of illnesses, which enabled later physicians to easily recognize illnesses and their recommended treatments. He was the author of a treatise called 'The complicated body', but because of the strict taboo at the time concerning dissection of humans, it would take another 1,500 years before the anatomy of humans was fully and clearly understood.

How is Hippocrates and galen similar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He thought Hippocrates was the model doctor, and that what he wrote could be trusted. However, Galen was selective in which of the many treatises attributed to Hippocrates he took as 'genuine'. Those that best fitted Galen's own view of the body were - no surprises here! - the ones he decided were really by Hippocrates!

What are the Hippocrates principles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What factors influenced Hippocrates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the most part, he was a the father of medicine and so he wasn't really influenced by any other person. His theory of the humorism (the idea that there are four main liquids of the body) was influenced by the Pythagorean theory which stated that Nature was made of four elements-water, earth, wind and fire. The four humors correspond to this like so...

Blood-Air

Black Bile-Earth

Yellow Bile-Fire

Phlegm-Water

So if you need a specific person, you could explain that he was influenced by Pythagoras.
