Galen synthesized the entirety of Greek medicine as a  basis for his own doctrines and practice, which comprehensively  embraced theory, practical knowledge, experiment, logic, and a deep  understanding of human life and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis treatise \u003ci\u003eHygiene\u003c\/i\u003e, also known as “On the Preservation of Health” (\u003ci\u003eDe sanitate tuenda\u003c\/i\u003e),  was written during one of Galen’s most prolific periods (170–180) and  ranks among his most important and influential works, providing a  comprehensive account of the practice of preventive medicine that still  has relevance today. Also included in this two-volume edition are two  shorter treatises on the relationship between health and wellness. \u003ci\u003eThrasybulus\u003c\/i\u003e  explores the theoretical question of whether hygiene is part of  medicine or gymnastics, and in so doing delineates the interrelated  roles of doctors and physical therapists. \u003ci\u003eOn Exercise with a Small Ball\u003c\/i\u003e strenuously advocates that activity’s superiority to all other forms of exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eIan Johnston is an independent scholar pursuing a lifelong passion for ancient languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554482213025,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780674997134","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780674997134.jpg?v=1781770094","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/hygiene-volume-ii-hardcover-by-galen","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
