History ASMR - Medicine from Prehistory to Our Time (Bedtime Story)

This ASMR/bedtime story video is about medicine and healing since the Neolithic. I tell you about Ancient Mesopotamia and the first diagnosis and prescriptions, Ancient Egypt and the figure of Imhotep, India and the principles of Ayurveda, or Chinese Medicine including Moxibustion and Acupuncture. We also take a look at medicine in Ancient Greece and Rome, including important figures like Hippocrates and Galen, how this legacy passed on and was further developped in the Islamic World, Byzantium or Medieval Europe. Then we reach the Renaissance and the steps that would lead to an increasingly scientific approach to medicine and the many discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, that came with important social change and professionalisation (I tell you at the end about scientists like Pasteur or Koch, and Florence Nigthingale, the founder of modern nursing).
