The Legacy of Melothesia in Modern and Historical Medicine
Although the philosophy of Melothesia does not coincide with modern medicine today, it has had an important place in the medical world for thousands of years. Although it is not considered meaningful to medical professionals today, many of us still believe in horoscopes and do not start our day without looking at our daily horoscope. Perhaps for this reason, Melothesia still has an effect psychologically and should not be considered completely meaningless.
