History of medicine: holistic model

Abstract

The energy in balance, given by the body and the spirit as a unit, the Ayurveda (sanscrite word for life science) explains that this was revealed by divine beings which explains on many health-related views, such as the use of d and medication, doing yoga, meditation until surgery.

Chakras this is a system of Buddhist beliefs, chakras are found in different regions of the body, but in specific places such as an organ but invisible, which is only measured by their energy, of which six are aligned in the spine ascending and one hovers out of the body between the genitals and the knees. If there was any blockage of energy then a physical or mental illness can occur, to treat from a therapeutic point of view you have to align the chakras; using special stones or songs, just like yoga helps maintain this flow of energy.

The four humors in the same way as chakras, should be kept in balance if you wanted to maintain health, which are black bile, yellow bile, blood and phlegm. The origins come from Mesopotamia or Egypt, the four humors are related, to the four elements water, earth and air. Humeral theory dealt with mental health and temperament in addition to physical well-being, the balance of humors or yin and yang was considered to be sufficient explanation of how the body worked or failed.
