Best Answer

The humoral model of disease proposed that disease was caused by an
imbalance in one or more of four "humors" or fluids in the body:
blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile.
Physicians would decide on a treatment based on their interpretation
of the imbalance. Some treatments even included "blood letting" where
they would either cut the person and allow them to bleed for a short
time or apply leaches to them to remove some blood.
