Hippocrates and Ancient Greek Medicine(part-02)

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Asclepeion is a temple built in the form of a Greek deity dedicated to the Greek goddess Ascpalipos. There the sick would be provided medical treatment. The Greek edition of Acqualpius, a physician of the ancient Egyptians, may have become the god of science.Its trademark is known as 'The Rod of Asclepius' or 'Asclepius Bar', a symbol of a stick and a coiled snake surrounded by it. This is because the snake poison was used only for a small amount of disease, or because of the disintegration of a snake, to remove the old problems and illness and start a new life.

Whatever the source, this stick and the surrounding snake have been used as a symbol of medicine for ages. Esquilepius had two daughters who were alive even today through the terminology of medicine. Hygieia related hygiene and hydrogen 'Panacea' are considered to be the goddess of universal healing.

Hippocrates, which has long been a part of life, has probably traveled on the coast of the Aegean Sea and its inland areas, now known as Bulgaria and Turkey. He practiced as a doctor, gave lectures, taught students, and practiced meditation and meditation on his own medical practice. It is said that he was a masterpiece of music, poetry, mathematics and even physical fitness.
Perhaps at one stage he was imprisoned for 20 years. Because he was reluctant to accept the soul or the goddess as the cause of disease. The prominent people of that time punished him who thought he was an intermediary among his people and gods.

Hippocrates's teachings eroded their power. Sadly, it is not known what happened to Hippocrates. Even where his death was not even known properly. But what is known in vaguely is that he died in a place called Larisa, northwest of Greece.

A lot of modern medicine comes from the various treatments of Hippocrates. We share the illness with acute (sudden and short-lived) and chronic (chronic) - in two groups. And divide the two categories into the category of disease (in a specific area or in a population frequently) and epidemic or epidemic (suddenly spread to a large part of the population). These are from Hippocrates.

According to the medical practice, the main pathway of the patient's history, observation and examination is 'Hippocratic School of Medicine'. It was considered to be very important at the time of observation. However, Hippocrates brought it in a systemic process. The patient would be monitored at least once a day so that after diagnosing the disease and knowing the natural causes of the disease, the condition of the disease can be predicted further and accordingly the measures should be taken accordingly.
Hippocrates believed practicing the practice of predicting disease is an excellent and effective thing to do. According to him, 'he can take good care of what the next symptom of the disease can be assumed later on.' For every patient, the documents were kept so that the signs and symptoms of the disease such as breathing rate, temperature, skin and gravity, eyes And the nature of mouth and the type of germ formation etc.
Hippocrates was interested in stool-urine, that is, because he believed that he worked as a guide to the various functions of the body. Depending on the proportion of a person's diet, one or two times daily - especially the morning discharge, is a sign of recovery. He thought it was good for the body to have a regular bowel movement rather than a bariat.
Rectal Speculum - A type of pimper is a type of device that can be used to scrub the body through internal scrub. This is the oldest version of today's Endoscopy. Through this, internal parts of the natural way were seen or cut short by purpose. Apart from coughing hemorrhoids, it is known to use different types of ointments as medicines in all cases of infertility.
