So, what is meant by the explanation in the humoral, anatomical, and germ theory. Explanation of each the three theories will be explained in this paper. Further, throughout the paper is explaining how each theory differs from one another and the significance historically in each, and how each of the theories today with the understanding of health and wellness.
With the humoral concept of disease actually originated with Hippocrates in the early years of about 460 to 370 B.C. (Holtz, 2008). In the concept of the humoral theory balance had to be maintained and among the four different substances and humors within the human body. So, with this concept if the balance became out of line or undistributed then the first thought coming to mind people became sick or ill. Within those four humors were phlegm, red, yellow bile, and blood. Early ancient people believed that those substances actually ruled the personalities in the bodies when they are divided to the possible types of choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine, and sanguine, which depended of the substance in, which it actually dominated that person. Then with the theory that was known as the anatomical theory of disease actually lie within those organs internally of the skeletal and muscular body systems. Finally, the theory of the germ was thought that many of the diseases were caused in the presence and specific actions of microorganisms were found inside the body. With the germ theory was actually developed and gained acceptance in the United States and Europe in the early to middle 1800s. (Holtz, 2008). In the difference between each theory in the humoral theory is figuring out where the actual disease comes from. With knowing, the cause of the disease brought together that four chemicals would lead to healing practices by physicians in the early times of the Renaissance and Greece. With this theory is one of the
