tibbi

Tibbi refers to the traditional medical system originating in the Indian subcontinent, particularly prevalent in areas influenced by Islamic culture. It is a comprehensive system that draws from various ancient traditions, including Unani medicine, Ayurveda, and local folk practices. The core philosophy of Tibbi centers on balancing the body's humors, often understood as phlegm, blood, yellow bile, and black bile, to maintain health and treat illness. Treatments typically involve herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. Practitioners, known as Tibb doctors or Hakims, diagnose conditions by observing a patient's pulse, urine, and overall physical appearance, alongside detailed questioning about their symptoms and history. The emphasis is on personalized treatment plans tailored to the individual's constitution and the specific nature of their ailment. Tibbi aims to address the root cause of disease rather than merely suppressing symptoms. While distinct from modern allopathic medicine, Tibbi continues to be practiced by many people seeking natural and holistic approaches to healthcare.
