摘要：Water is the basic element of the human body. It also plays an important role in philosophy, the legislation regarding hygiene and the therapeutic practice. Ancient Egyptians regarded water as the basic element in practicing hygiene, but only of priests. Also, according to Hebrew sanitary legislation, water was important in the hygiene of all people. Medicine in Ancient Greece is interrelated with medicine and philosophy of the people in the eastern Mediterranean. Thus, Thales regards water as the basis for everything in the world and Plato perceives water as one of four of the body humors. The treatment in the temples of Asclepius included bathing. Hippocrates, in his book on airs, waters and places examines the effects of water on the body and its health.
