Summary

[edit]
Description
Български: Глинени съдове с естествения размер на човешки органи, които са използвани като бутилки с топла вода. Долната част на всеки от тях е пригодена за плътно прилепване към съответната част от човешкото тяло. През отворите бутилките се пълнят с топла вода или зехтин и след това се прилепват към болния орган. Вероятно са били използвани като топли компреси за облекчаване от болки, хиперемия и ревматизъм. Информация за предназначението им има в древните текстове на Хипократ и Гален.

Съдовете са намерени в град Пафос в сграда, която може да функционира като асклепион (лечебен храм) или като аналог на лекарски кабинет. Неа Пафос и Китион (днешната Ларнака) са най-важните медицински центрове в Кипър през елинистическия и римския периоди.

Римски период (1 век пр.н.е. - 1 век от новата ера). Археологически музей в Никозия, Кипър
English: These terracotta vessels in the form of life-size human body parts, have been interpreted as hot water bottles. Their undersides are mouldet to fit tightly on the corresponding body parts. The bottles are filled from their neck with hot water or oil and then applied to the aching body. They were probably used as warm compresses for causing hyperaemia and relieving pains. We know of the use of emplastra and thermasmata (warm plasters) for the treatment of rheumatic conditions from the ancient texts of Hippocrates and Galen.

The vessels were found in Paphos in a building, which may have functioned as an Asklepeion (healing temple) or a doctor's establishment. Nea Pafhos and Kition (modern Larnaka) were the most important medical centres in Cyprus during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
