Abstract
In this paper authors described some of the principles and theses of Hippocratic medicine. They emphasized that regardless
existing controversial opinions as to whether Hippocrates stated some theses or not, and controversial views on some of his
principles, he is often called the "father" of medicine, who laid the foundations in medicine as a science. Hippocrates gave
recommendations on the doctor's behavior towards the patient, which is relevant up today. His holistic approach to medicine is
becoming more and more relevant in the modern medicine. The application of the Hippocratic Oath today depends on the legislation
of individual states, related to how legal solutions in some states are pro or contra to it. Authors opened and discussed his attitudes
that mental illnesses are a sign of a diseased brain, his consideration the food as medicine and that the disease came from the
intestines. Also issue of prognosis of the diseases was opened and discussed as well as and Hippocrate's consideration of work and
physical activity as the most appropriate medicine. Furthermore, authors considered importance of Hippocratic medicine related to
Creative psychopharmacotherapy based on therapeutic communication and the creative satisfaction of needs in the therapeutic
relationship with patients and in the recovery itself. Finally, an example of creatively use of the principle of Hippocratic medicine: "work
as the most appropriate medicine" in therapeutic communication with patients through an ecological approach called "Ecopsychiatry",
under the slogan presented in the media to the general public: "Cleansing nature improves your mental health" was described.
