I think Navid's question's about the humours governing the body. Let me explain more: the ancient physician s and pharmacists –the Greek and the Iranian in particular- believed that there are four humeral systems governing the health, their names were: black bile, blood, yellow bile, and phlegm. They also believed the nature of the foods is different: some are cold, the others are warm.
The four elements making the environment: earth, air, fire, and water. They were linked to the human's health in accordance to the humeral system.
I read in a book that they are like the cholinergic and adrenergic systems. The food has great effects on make them imbalanced by their nature: as I mentioned some food has cold nature while the others have warm nature, so they can cause the humeral systems to react.
Did I explain it in a proper way? I am trying to find more information to put in this topic. So be patient!
