The Humours https://blogofbad.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/four-humours.jpg?w=500 To the ancients, the humours were representation of the four basic elements in the body. This idea placed the human as part of nature and led to the following suppositions.
31
The Humours The ancients believed the human form (body) was a group of open and porous organs and systems that were part of the broader world.
32
The Humours Having an understanding of the world the body was immersed in was crucial to understanding the inner workings of the human.
33
The Humours The humours reflected the elements in natural environment that surrounded an individual.
34
The Humours A person’s constitution (psychological and physical) was determined by the equilibrium of the substances (elements) inside the body.
35
The Humours “Misalignment” of (or a loss of equilibrium or homeostasis) of the elements could lead to illness, or even death.
36
The Humours The primary job of early physicians was to prevent or correct toxic imbalances of the humours in the body.
37
The Humours An excess of an element in the body could be corrected by purging the body or drawing out the excess element. This explains ancient practices that seem ridiculous to us in modern times like bloodletting

39
The Humours The elements were related to each season of the year. Spring, air Spring, air Summer, fire Summer, fire Autumn, earth Autumn, earth Winter, water Winter, water
40
The Humours The elements were also related to human development For example, old age was viewed as a cooling of the body.
41
The Humours The elements were also involved in astrology. Humans were a part of the cosmos that included the movement of the stars and planets throughout the cosmos.
42
The Humours Understanding the human body was just one part of an attempt to make sense of the universe.
43
The Humours Medicine was based on a balance of the humors within the individual.
44
The Humours This resulted in a complex view of the human as a part of the broader the world in a massively intertwined system of the elements in time and space.
