Four Humors

Level 0 – Common Web

Not sure how this ended up as a conspiracy, its more of an interesting thought. Even though humorism theory had several models that used 2, 3 and 5 components, the most famous model consists of the four humors described by Hippocrates and then developed further by Galen. The four humors of Hippocratic medicine are black bile (Greek: μέλαινα χολή, melaina chole), yellow bile (Greek: ξανθη χολή, xanthe chole), phlegm (Greek: φλέγμα, phlegma), and blood (Greek: αἷμα, haima). Each corresponds to one of the traditional four temperaments. Based on Hippocratic medicine, it was believed that the four humors were to be in balanced proportions with regard to amount and strength of each humor for a body to be healthy.[9] The proper blending and balance of the four humors was known as ‘eukrasia’.[10] Imbalance and separation of humors leads to diseases.
