Medicine in Antiquity

Medicine in antiquity refers to the early practices of healing and health management developed by ancient civilizations. Cultures like Egypt, Greece, India, and China created foundational medical theories, often combining herbal remedies, rituals, and philosophies like balance and harmony. Physicians such as Hippocrates emphasized natural causes and ethical practice. These early systems laid the groundwork for modern medicine, integrating observations of the human body, disease, and treatments, while blending spiritual and practical approaches to heal and maintain health.
