The foundation of the Unani System of Medicine is depending on the concept of Mizaj (Temperament). The theory of mizaj, originally introduced by the father of medicine, Hippocrates (Buqrat) and further developed by Jalinoos (Galen) and Ibne Sina (Avicenna), has been subject to interpretation by numerous scholars throughout its history. The Mizaj (temperament) is a concept used by physicians to assess how the body or its organs deviate from normal homeostasis, considering factors like the patient's population, race and species. There's no single universal temperament for assessing an individual's health and what's optimal varies with geographical location. In modern terms, this aligns with the roles of natural balance and environment in individual adaptation through homeostasis and the role of evolution in population adaptation to maintain homeostasis. Mizaj reflects equilibrium among the four fundamental qualities: heat, coldness, moistness, and dryness, unique to each person. The concept of mizaj is crucial in Unani System of Medicine, serving as the foundation for diagnosis and treatment.
