#humoralism
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”

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.

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?

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.)

Don’t mind me, just brushing up on humoralism and miasma theory. Looking like there might be job opportunity at the White House

the dispositions, after all, can be metamorphosed a little bit maybe, or be reflected on, but are not metaphorical themselves. no matter how much you eventually believe in zodiac signs or even in humoralism.

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

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

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!

The far-right are using the same Angry Studies bullshit to suck up to the majority, with a lot more success than its original promoters. The whole vacuous field needs to go the way of geocentrism and humoralism, where it belongs.

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.

It's challenging to convey just how devastating this (among other rejections) is for the state of medical science in the USA. It puts not just research and future breakthroughs in jeopardy, but also currently accepted therapies. The US is retreating into an age of herbs and humoralism.
Vinay Prasad was named as both the FDA’s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer TODAY. He immediately fired Nicole Verdun, who was in charge of cell and gene therapies.

“Now, there will definitely be concerns and questions about what this means for the division under Vinay Prasad”.

They believe in humoralism.

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.

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

new video about the theory of humoralism and how it ties into Sin Eater. blessed my YouTube channel isn’t monetized because it means they can’t demonetize me for this thumbnail

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

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

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.

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...

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 ><
