KNOW YOUR MIZAJ

Unani Medicine believes that every individual has a unique mizaj according to the humoral constitution, lifestyle and environmental conditions. The interaction between fourelements in the body i.e. Air, Water, Fire and Earth and their specific qualities (Hot, Cold, Wet and Dry) produces various states which determine the mizaj (Mizaj) of an individual.

The mizaj of an individual is broadly classified into four types- Sanguine (Damwi), Phlegmatic (Balghami), Choleric (Safrawi), and Melancholic (Sawdawi).

Identification of the mizaj of an individual is important to maintain health, diagnose and treat various diseases. It is also considered for identifying the most suitable diet and lifestyle for promoting good health.
