Ancient Health

Ancient health refers to the medical practices and beliefs of early civilizations, like those in Egypt, Greece, China, and India. These societies used herbal remedies, dietary guidelines, and surgical techniques, often guided by holistic views of the body and spirit. They believed in the balance of bodily elements or humors for good health. Ancient texts like the Hippocratic Corpus and Ayurvedic scripts laid foundational principles for modern medicine. Despite limited scientific knowledge, ancient health practices significantly influenced contemporary health care, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle, prevention, and the connection between mind and body.
