#humoralism
Moving past eugenics the way into humoralism. The children have an over abundance of black bile.

I think patriarchy is a human invention, and like hereditary chattel slavery and humoralism as a theory of disease, it deserves to die

Off to my final class of "Medicine and Miracle: Medieval Healing Traditions" at STFX.
Students have an essay proposal due and deserve a break, so were going to watch a bit of the new Decameron and judge the presentation of doctors, humoralism, contagion theory, etc. It's surprisingly on the nose!

Humoral medicine chart and urine diagnosis from pre-18thC medical MSS in Padova #MUSME - previously the oldest training hospital in Europe.
Some of the samples on this chart are disconcerting!

Or go hard into humoralism. “In order to balance the phlegm and blood, one must inject 1 mL of yellow bile into the left vastus lateralis”

So true! There have been virtually no advances in bloodletting for a century! The next four years will be a renaissance for humoralism!

Day 5
The most advanced medical science is based in Humoralism and Miasma Theory. Surgeons exist, but folk medicine and mysticism dominate the field. (Given that some illness is magical, this isn't inappropriate, just overdone.)

Growing up we were told never to eat dairy with fish or it would cause vitiligo.

I used to think it came from Jewish dietary rules, but it is probably based on Galenic humoralism like many North African traditional dietary beliefs.

What's all this about "time travel" anyways? I'd thought we'd come far since the days where things like alchemy and the humoralism were accepted by scientists as fact. What a ridiculous concept.

Though it's odd how dizzy I've felt as of late. This pounding in my head just won't let up...

We'll be back to humoralism before you know it. You think wellness influencers are bad now? Just wait until they start peddling supplements to get your black bile levels in check.

Unsurprisingly, it does not. :p No humoralism either. All modern critical schools, I'm afraid.

Medicine within the Kimian Empire is still in the era of Miasma Theory and Humoralism. Herbalism and other folk medicines therefore shoulder the bulk of the burden when it comes to pharmaceutical needs.

As a runner I subscribe to humoralism but the 4 humors are Sweat, Blood, Saliva, and Urine. Having been unable to do a vigorous workout this morning I have dangerously high Sweat levels and am unable to sit still ><

Yes, humoralism is alive and well in Germany. I remember a physician in Berlin advising a friend of mine some years ago that the reason my friend had caught a urinary-tract infection was that she had worn flip-flops in the rain.

Since there is very little magic that provides anything in the way of healing or insight into biology, the Kimian Empire's conception of medical science lags far behind anything else. Miasma Theory and Humoralism are ... (1/2)

Concerns about dysbiosis—the putative misalignment
between so-called good and bad bacte-
ria—echo the perennial seductions of
“humoralism,” a theory of health de-
rived from the ancient concept of har-
mony like
blood and phlegm, which
appear in both Eastern and Western
medical traditions.

The concept of *pundit* needs to be tossed in the trash, next to phlogiston, aether, humoralism etc.....

final form of Ptolemy's Emission Theory boosted with humoralism in al-Razi's unani medicine(harbs, drugs and alchemy).
wizard's humor and bloods are strengthend and hyper-balanced with harbs, now he has abilities to control Pneuma. his gaze has physical, destructive power.
but his body overheated

Eg: the flat earth theory, geocentric cosmology, lamarckian evolution, and psychological humoralism.

Day 18
Medicine on Síderon is medieval by our standards. Even the Kimian Empire, which has early 1900s tech, relies on Humoralism and Miasma Theory. While no magic directly heals or cures illness, prayer is widely relied upon.

Today we are talking about medicine

What is the level of medical tech in your setting, but more importantly how does it interact with magic and religion?

Can magic help with healing and getting rid of sickness?

Does religion have much to do with medicine?
