Ancient medicine

Ancient medicine refers to the healthcare practices and beliefs of early civilizations, such as those in Egypt, Greece, China, and India. These cultures used natural remedies, herbal treatments, and spiritual rituals to heal ailments. Ancient physicians, like Hippocrates, emphasized observation and diagnosis, laying the groundwork for modern medicine.
