1. 
They were often in settings of spectacular natural beauty. The main Asklepeion in ancient Greece was in Epidaurus. It was similar to a modern spa in that the patients were offered special purifying baths, followed by a diet – what we would call a detox diet today – that lasted for several days.
A.
Ginger was effective in treating nausea and is still used today for the same reason; a special clay was useful in fighting problems in the digestive system. Scientific analysis has revealed that the clay was similar to kaolin, which is used in modern medicines to treat diarrhoea.
B.
His famous oath is still used by doctors today, as they promise to ‘Do No Harm’. His most telling contribution to the history of medicine was the separation of medicine from religion, and he believed that checking symptoms, giving diagnoses and administering treatment should be separated from the rituals of the priests
C.
Skulls treated in this way from ancient societies around the world indicate that the practice goes back as far as 10,000 BC. By studying the regrowth of the bone around the hole in the skull, it is possible to determine how long the patient survived after the surgery. Some did not survive, some lived a little longer, but others healed completely
D.
All ancient cultures had a mythological divine healer. For the ancient Greeks it was Asklepius, the god of medicine. Sanctuaries dedicated to him, called Asklepeions, attracted the ill and injured, who would often travel from far and wide to seek relief from whatever ailed them at these healing centres
2. 
Ancient healing, however, involved more than just healthy food and dream analysis. From the writings of Hippocrates, the best-known ancient physician, we learn that ancient doctors knew how to heal infected wounds by lancing, draining and cleaning them. They also knew how to use herbs to treat a spectrum of illnesses
A.
He was also aware of the importance of hygiene and so kept his ‘operating theatre’ spotlessly clean. He did, however, make a mistake regarding his notion that the stomach lining played no role in the process of digestion.
B.
Once patients were cleansed, they entered a sleep chamber for one or two nights. They would then receive a visit from the god in the form of a dream, and he would heal the patients directly or tell them how to cure their illness.

Surgery was also part of the ancient physician’s vast repertoire. The famous Greek physician, Galen, successfully removed cataracts from the eyes with the use of a needle.

Archaeologists have revealed other medical practices in the ancient world. Skeletal remains show evidence of quite surprising surgical procedures. Skulls have been excavated that show signs of trepanation – a procedure still used today in which a hole is drilled into the skull to relieve pressure caused by head trauma

Excavations in Israel have also revealed evidence of ancient dental procedures. In a desert grave, a 2,200-year-old skull was found that had a dental filling, which was a very short bronze wire placed into the tooth. Elsewhere, in the catacombs of Rome, which were used from the 1st to the 5th centuries AD, skulls were found with gold fillings. Not surprisingly, further information about ancient health care can be found in the graves of ancient doctors. Depicted in stone tablets are the instruments they used. These objects are almost identical to the cutting-edge instruments used by doctors and surgeons today.
