On Regimen In Acute Diseases is a book written by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. It is a compilation of his observations and recommendations on how to treat acute illnesses through dietary and lifestyle changes. The book is divided into four sections, each covering a different aspect of treatment. The first section discusses the importance of rest and sleep in the healing process, while the second section focuses on the role of diet in promoting recovery. The third section deals with the use of exercise and massage to aid in healing, and the final section covers the use of medicinal herbs and other treatments. Throughout the book, Hippocrates emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of the illness. This book is considered a classic in the field of medicine and is still studied and referenced by medical professionals today.The greater part of my discourse has related to changes, this way or that. For all purposes it is profitable to know these things, and more especially respecting the subject under consideration, - that in acute diseases, in which a change is made to ptisans from a state of inanition, it should be made as I direct; and then that ptisans should not be used until the disease be concocted, or some other symptom, whether of evacuation or of irritation, appear in the intestines, or in the hypochondria, such as will be described. Obstinate insomnolency impairs the digestion of the food and drink, and in other respects changes and relaxes the body, and occasions a heated state, and heaviness of the head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
