Persian Medicine Fundamentals

The four humors (Sodā, Safrā, Dam, Balgham) and the heat / cold / dry / moist balance that shapes your constitution.

How spring, summer, autumn, and winter shift the body — and what to eat, drink, and avoid in each.

Eating by nature — pairing warming, cooling, drying, and moistening foods to keep digestion fire balanced.

Avicenna's six essentials: air, food & drink, sleep & wakefulness, movement & rest, emotions, and retention & evacuation.

Why sleeping with the sun, evening calm rituals, and a settled stomach are central to traditional health.

Riyāzat — gentle daily movement before meals, mindful breath, and warmth-building activity for cold constitutions.

Morning rosewater, tea customs, communal meals, gratitude, family — the Persian art of living well.
