*Medieval European medicine was based on the concept of [[Wikipedia:Humorism|Humorism]], in which illnesses resulted from an imbalance in one or more of four body fluids: blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. The heat and flush associated with fever were believed to be a symptom of excess blood in the body. Leeches were one method used to draw out blood in an effort to restore health by restoring the fluid balance. (This is also why medieval sources refer to the practice of medicine as "leechcraft".)
