More quotes by Hippocrates
When in sickness, look to the spine first.
Hippocrates
It is most necessary to know the nature of the spine. One or more vertebrae may or may not go out of place very much and if they do, they are likely to produce serious complications and even death, if not properly adjusted. Many diseases are related to the spine.
Hippocrates
And if incision of the temple is made on the left, spasm seizes the parts on the right, while if the incision is on the right, spasm seizes the parts on the left.
Hippocrates
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
Hippocrates
All parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in labors in which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well developed and age more slowly, but if unused they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly.
Hippocrates
If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool.

Hippocrates
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates
Where prayer, amulets and incantations work it is only a manifestation of the patient's belief.
Hippocrates
A sensible man ought to think about that well being is the best of human blessings, and find out how by his personal thought to derive profit from his sicknesses.
Hippocrates
Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods.
Hippocrates
Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.
Hippocrates
Everyone has a doctor in him or her we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.
Hippocrates
