Primal Medicine
There wasn't much medicine 4000 years ago. They used pretty much exclusively natural remedies, and things that they thought worked but didn't. -

Faith healing
After trying to eat plans from the ground to try to get healthy, they started using faithhealing, putting trust in god to try to heal the sick. -
Magic
After (most) people realized faith healing is total crap, they decided to put their health in something much more rational. Potions. -
Beginning of Modern Medicine
People finally started coming to their senses. They started using pills with some actual medicine in them! Some still contained things like mercury or lead that they BELIEVED to work but were actually poison. -
Modern Medicine
People finally started using antibiotics, the most practical and most effective form of medicine. -
The Future of Medicine.
I believe that we will move away from antibiotics, or they will become ineffective. The more we use them the more bacterial diseases mutate and build resistances to them. I believe future medicine will come in the form of genetic altering at birth or later in order to make that person immune to the disease in the first place.
