The humours and temperament
The foundation of Uyghur medicine is the balance of the four humours in the body. Illness is the loss of that balance; treatment is its restoration.
That is why every remedy has a declared “nature” (hot–cold, dry–moist) and a degree — the nature of the remedy must match the temperament of the patient.
