On Regimen In Acute Diseases (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419138546)

On Regimen In Acute Diseases is a medical treatise written by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. The book discusses the proper diet and lifestyle changes that patients should make in order to recover from acute illnesses such as fevers, coughs, and digestive disorders. Hippocrates emphasizes the importance of rest, hydration, and avoiding certain foods that can exacerbate symptoms. He also provides advice on how to recognize when a patient's condition is improving or worsening. The book is considered a foundational text in the field of medicine and is still studied and referenced by medical professionals today.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.
