Unani (Unani medicine, Unani system of medicine, Unani Tibb)
System based on the ancient Greek theory of four basic elements--air, earth, fire, and water--and four bodily fluids (humors)--blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile (choler). The goal of Unani is the "balancing" of humors. Temperament supposedly stems from the dominant humor and is a determinant of "diagnosis" and treatment. For example, anger and irritability supposedly manifest an excess of yellow bile. "Unani" is the Arabic word for "Greek." Apparently, "Hikmat" and "Tibe-Unani" are synonymous with "Unani medicine."
