There is a brief discussion of what was unique about western European medicine and the

medical profession for roughly 800 years until European medical researchers eventually
broke free from the tangle of conventions inherited from history. Medicine is one of our
oldest things, and sickness/Disease has long been a part of the human experience. The history
of Western medicine from antiquity to the present day will be studied in this essay. Focusing
on medical theory and practice, it examines Hippocratic medical learning and the methods by
which Hippocrates built a clientele, medieval uses of ancient medical theories in the
definition and treatment of disease, and the emergence of novel chemical, anatomical, and
physiological conceptions of disease in the early medieval period, among many other topics.
Western medicine and non- Western medicine, to a certain extent, fall into this category.
Most people believe that healthy lifestyles should be safeguarded and promoted by medicine.
If this isn't the case then medicine will treat any diseases that impede healthy lifestyles. To
fulfill its aims, medicine evolved as an art of healing, which drew a great amount of human
and economic resources.
