The word, beyond its practical meaning for the mixing of, primarily, liquids, was used in Philosophy and Medicine for the mixing of the active qualities (warm, cold, dry and wet) and the juices of the human body. In this mixing, the prevalence of a quality (and the respective juice) would give humans their particular attributes and would be used fornaming their krasi (constitution) (e.g.thermikrasi -warm constitution). Today, we find it in phrases such as: efkratoklima (temperate climate), dinatikrasi (strong constitution), idiosygkrasia (temperament).
Galen was the greatest Physician of antiquity after “the divine” Hippocrates, as he called him. Based on Hippocrates’ theories, such as the “theory of juices”, the “most beautiful theory in medicine”, and believing that “the best doctor is also a philosopher”, Galen systematized and expanded medicine, as well as the ancient world’s broader knowledge, bestowing us with approximately 150 works in 500 books; a precious heritage that remains inexhaustible.
As we studied his works, we discovered useful ancient Greek products of great value, which sparked our desire to recreate them. We selected our beloved OXYMELI and MELIKRATON first, strictly adhering to the method of manufacture that Galen himself had recorded in detail.
