“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.” ~Hippocrates
Did you know this brilliant doctor lived through a plague?⠀
From 430BC-427BC the Plague of Athens killed 75,000-100,000 people in the city. Hippocrates is credited with coming into the city in the height of the plague and curing many people. ⠀
What did he do to cure this disease? ⠀
If you know anything about Hippocrates, his life philosophy was, “First, do no harm.” He wanted to be there as a calming presence to the city. ⠀
I’ve read accounts where Hippocrates told people to light fires in their homes and outside, to make the air dry because he believed the pathogen was airborne. He also told everyone to boil their water before using it because the water was polluted.⠀
From there, the plague started to dwindle and Hippocrates is credited as healing the Plague of Athens.⠀
What Hippocrates really believed though, was that “the natural healing force within us is the greatest force in getting well.”⠀
We have to WANT to heal. ⠀
We have to BELIEVE it’s possible.⠀
We have to not live in FEAR.⠀
