...In stark contrast to the traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, which has traditionally explained diseases as "sickness" or "diseases" based on changes in the qi and wind, this humoral pathology was dominant in Europe until the Renaissance and subsequent developments in anatomy replaced organ pathology (solid pathology). In ancient Greece and Rome, Hippocrates and Galen considered four types of humors: phlegm, blood, melancholy (black bile), and bile (yellow bile). They believed that maintaining balance and harmony among these humors was a condition for health, and that excess, deficiency, or movement of a certain humor would cause mental and physical disorders or pathological conditions. For example, epileptic seizures occur when cold mucus suddenly flows into the blood vessels, cooling and stagnating the blood. When the flow of mucus is large and thick, it causes the blood to coagulate, immediately resulting in death. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "yellow bile" is listed below.
