Hippocrates was so important to medicine for many different reasons. One of the reason was the four humours theory that he came up with. The four humours in your body that were black bile, yellow bile, blood and phlegm. He claimed that if one of these humours was to become unbalanced with the rest then you would become ill. This was significant because up until this point people had believed in supernatural ideas and this was leading away from that.
