Description
On Regimen In Acute Diseases is a medical treatise written by Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician widely regarded as the father of Western medicine. The book is a collection of observations and recommendations on how to manage acute illnesses, such as fevers, infections, and injuries, through diet, exercise, rest, and other natural remedies. Hippocrates emphasizes the importance of understanding the individual patient's constitution, symptoms, and environment in order to tailor the treatment accordingly. He also stresses the need for a healthy lifestyle and preventive measures to avoid future illnesses. The book is considered a foundational text in the history of medicine and is still relevant today for its emphasis on holistic and personalized care.The greater part of my discourse has related to changes, this way or that. For all purposes it is profitable to know these things, and more especially respecting the subject under consideration, - that in acute diseases, in which a change is made to ptisans from a state of inanition, it should be made as I direct; and then that ptisans should not be used until the disease be concocted, or some other symptom, whether of evacuation or of irritation, appear in the intestines, or in the hypochondria, such as will be described. Obstinate insomnolency impairs the digestion of the food and drink, and in other respects changes and relaxes the body, and occasions a heated state, and heaviness of the head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work
