Poetry (en)

Si tibi defi­ciant medici, medici tibi fiant
Haec tria: mens lae­ta, requies, mod­er­a­ta diaeta.



The Reg­i­men san­i­tatis Saler­ni­tanum (Saler­ni­tan Reg­i­men of Health) is an ancient Latin med­ical poem believed to have orig­i­nat­ed from the Saler­no med­ical school in Italy dur­ing the Mid­dle Ages. This text pro­vides health advice and med­ical guide­lines, empha­siz­ing the impor­tance of a bal­anced diet, phys­i­cal exer­cise, rest, mod­er­a­tion in alco­hol con­sump­tion, and oth­er lifestyle fac­tors to main­tain good health. It played a sig­nif­i­cant role in pro­mot­ing pre­ven­tive med­i­cine and the phi­los­o­phy of health, becom­ing an influ­en­tial text in the his­to­ry of medieval Euro­pean med­i­cine. The Reg­i­men san­i­tatis Saler­ni­tanum advo­cates for a holis­tic approach to health and well-being.
