Why “eucrasia” is a great word
A state of harmonious balance among the bodily humors or fundamental constituents, representing the ideal of health in ancient and medieval physiology. From Ancient Greek εὐκρᾶσις (eukrâsis), from εὖ (eu, "good, well") + κρᾶσις (krâsis, "mixture, blending"). Unlike dyscrasia, a diagnosis of pathological imbalance, or homeostasis, a modern scientific term for regulated equilibrium, eucrasia is the aspirational, almost philosophical condition of perfect composition. It is the cool hand on a fevered brow, the steady appetite after a day of measured labor, and the profound, unremarkable sleep that follows—the fleeting sense that the body is not a site of struggle, but a quiet agreement with the universe.
