Temperament Survey in Islamic medicine

In ancient medicine, quadruple mixing has always been an important and key issue in therapies and it is believed that all human diseases are rooted in a disorder in one of the body's natures (tail, bile, soda and phlegm) and one of the quadruple temperaments and their characteristics and symptoms. Temperaments are well aware, can cure many diseases and control the disease.
An experienced doctor must first know the ways of diagnosing temperaments and their relationship and role in causing the disease in order to moderate and accelerate the temperament by modifying one or two disturbed temperaments in the body with herbal medicines and healthy diet and correcting improper nutrition. Achieve patient recovery.
In the narrations we have that God said about the creation of Adam: "I created Adam and combined his body with four things, which are: moisture, dryness, heat and cold, to which I made the criteria and consistency of the body and the body "He has no ability and endurance

Imam Sadegh (as) said:
"I treat the hot to the cold, the cold to the hot, the dry to the wet, and the wet to the dry, and I return the work entirely to God, and what the Prophet of God (pbuh) has said." "I use and know that the stomach, the home of all pain, and abstinence, is the only cure, and I force the body to do what it is accustomed to."

Except with those four natures."
The dominance of phlegm in Islamic medicine
:
As mentioned, the nature of phlegm is one of the four natures of the body and its treatment is more difficult and important than other natures because firstly its nature is colder and wetter and secondly it overcomes man in old age which is old age and disability and treatment It will also be difficult, and therefore human death in theories and theories of Islamic medicine occurs due to the dominance of phlegm.
The dominance of phlegm prevents the blood supply to the organs of the body and therefore causes coldness in the hands and feet in humans, and even the blood flow to the brain is slow and the lack of blood flow causes forgetfulness. Therefore, in old age, people suffer from forgetfulness and Alzheimer's. Because phlegm has prevailed in their bodies, this nature is referred to in narrations as "the enemy of controversy". It accumulates in the chest and lungs. In the book Bihar Al-Anwar, Volume 59, it is stated by Allama Majlisi that: "It is true that the place of accumulation of phlegm and lungs is in the chest."

Causes the dominance of mucus in the body:
In Islamic medicine, the main cause of mucus is pulp and food debris in the intestines. When a person eats food and the body digests it, it absorbs pure substances and then the excess enters the intestines. Water that enters the intestines with waste products is the source of phlegm.
At the beginning of winter (Kanoon al-Awal), phlegm predominates in humans and it is better to use hot foods and drinks more in this season. Another is impurity because it causes the body to absorb germs and viruses and reproduce, engaging with the body's defenders and increasing phlegm.
What is the treatment for phlegm overcoming?
Consumption of sugar cane red: It is narrated that Tabarzard sugar (red sugar) definitely eats phlegm. The narration of Imam Baqir (AS) who told his companions that people are very unaware of the properties of Tabarzard sugar, Tabarzard sugar is useful for seventy diseases and eats and eradicates phlegm.
Consumption of dates: Another method of treating phlegm is eating dates (dates that exist only in Mecca and Medina). Because this type of date is the best type of date in the world, it eliminates the disease and has no side effects, relieves fatigue and eliminates phlegm.
Consumption of olive oil and raisins (raisins): Olive oil cleanses the stomach, removes phlegm and strengthens the nerves and calms the soul. It should be noted that the best type is unrefined olive oil that also has an odor. Because when it is purified, its properties decrease and its smell disappears. Raisins also reduce phlegm and are ordered to strengthen memory and relieve both sadness and grief. In Islamic medicine, one of the best treatments for depression is black grape juice, which should be consumed according to the expert's instructions.
