Meaning of humor psicologia by Felipe Lorenzo del Río

It was Hipócrates of Cos, the first doctor of the West and author of the Hippocratic oath, who in the 5th century - IV a. d. C. formulated the theory of the four humors, noting the blood expelled by patients. In the sputum observed red blood; mixed with the blood had white particles called phlegm; foam yellow called yellow bile and more dense and dark substances called black bile. These body fluids should be in a relative balance for health. Disease consisted of a humoral imbalance. Related these 4 moods with the seasons of the year: primavera-sangre, yellow verano-bilis, black otono-bilis, and invierno-flema. Later philosophers like Ereso 40 Teofrastro; 4th century - III a. d. C. ) they related the prevalence of some of the moods with the character and the personality of the people, establishing 4 types: blood, phlegmatic, choleric, and melancholic.
