Definition
A warm poultice or medical application placed on the body to treat inflammation or disease.
Etymology
From Greek epithema (from epitithemi 'to place upon'). This ancient medical term reflects Greek healing practices.
Kelly Says
Epithems were used in ancient Greek medicine much like we use heating pads today—doctors would place warm medicinal preparations on painful or inflamed areas for relief!
