Ancient data about Asclepius medicine and his followers
Nowadays the knowledge about creators of first healing systems in Greece ”Gods of medicine” who had significant part of real history and quite established ideology is very superficial among medical society. Appolo and Asclepius represent them. Their medicine was based on primitive animistic beliefs and shamanistic techniques. Their followers in classical and Ancient Greece continued to practice medicine based on personal contact with Asclepius during sleep or religious ecstasy.
