Heroic medicine

Caricature of a purging treatment (James Gillray, 1804)

Heroic medicine was the tradition in European medicine that encouraged the use of treatments with immediate effect, even at substantial risk to the patient. The treatments most commonly used were bloodletting and purging of the digestive tract. Heroic methods dominated medical practice in the 18th and early 19th centuries, but were displaced from the mid-19th century onward by the rival "conservative" approach.
