Hippocrates has been characterized as "the father of modern medicine" and has been recognized as the first to establish medicine as a science and attempt to separate it from religion, to free it from metaphysical elements, prejudices, and superstitions. Disease was no longer seen as a punishment inflicted by the gods but was connected to environmental factors, diet, and lifestyle. The "Aphorisms," the most famous of all Hippocratic works, is believed to have been composed by Hippocrates in his old age, drawing from his inexhaustible experience, based on observations, diagnoses, and the treatment he himself applied, and serves as a guide for physicians as well as a guide for improving our daily lives.
