Abstract
Persian Medicine (PM) or Humoral Medicine is a traditional school of medicine with thousands of years of prolific history. The concept of Mizaj (temperament) and hot-cold theory is one of PM's most important foundations. In the clinical setting, Mizaj represents individual differences in phenotypical, psychological, spiritual, and physiological functions. Mizaj has a crucial role in determining the treatment plan, to the point that a similar disease in patients with different Mizaj types may demand different treatments. In this chapter, the role of hot and cold theory in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases to develop an integrative medical approach is discussed.Entities:
