Hippocrates believed that observation of actual phenomena should be based on accurate facts. He taught that disease resulted from natural causes rather than the super natural. Hippocrates also taught that nature had the power to cure disease and that the physician should assist the recuperative pow ers of the patient using drugs, diet, sunlight and other means. Among the pharmaceutical preparations employed by Hippocrates were poultices, suppositories, pills, ointments and gargle.
