Tibb (Islamic medicine)

Tibb, or Islamic medicine, is a traditional healing system rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and ancient Persian, Greek, and Indian medical knowledge. It emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on balancing the body's vital humors—blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile—to maintain health. Tibb integrates herbal remedies, dietary advice, spiritual practices, and lifestyle adjustments, aiming to restore harmony within the body. While it shares some principles with modern medicine, Tibb relies on traditional practices and natural therapies, emphasizing prevention and the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
