Abstract
In recognition of his contribution to the medical field, Hippocrates is universally known as the Father of Medicine. The Medicine of Hippocrates has been practised for more than 2500 years under various names across the world. Hippocrates conceptualised philosophical principles of medicine including Vis Medicatrix Naturae (healing power of nature), Humours, Temperament and Lifestyle Factors. More significantly, he is known for transforming the practice of medicine that included superstition and magic, to a scientific system based on the principle of cause and effect, with holism, professionalism, and medical ethics with respect to bedside manner, benevolence, and conduct. This led to the Medicine of Hippocrates being known as A Science of Medicine and the Art of Care. Whilst the technological advancements of Western medicine have made excellent progress in diagnostics,with pathological and imaging technology and also in surgical procedures, the side-effects associated with Western medication, is a major concern within the context of the Medicine of Hippocrates.
