Abstract:

The word Temperament is derived from Latin word “Tempero” which means “to mix”. When different qualities of elements act and react by their powers, then previous qualities become diminished and a new moderate quality is developed which is known as Mizaj. According to Ibn Nafees the word Mizaj is originated from Arabic word “Imtizaj” which means “intermixture”. Every organ, plant and animal have almost different structure and functions according to the quality and quantity of their building material. According to Unani medicine all are made up of Ajzae Awwalia (Arkaan) and present science suggests protein, fat and carbohydrate as building blocks. Both Modern science and Unani medicine accept that building material is same for all animate objects but their quantity vary from organism to organism. So the scientific approach in relation to formation of substance is accurate since beginning. Now this formation can be defined physically and chemically at molecular level in which elements bind together by different types of chemical bonding. Medical science deals with human body that is why temperament formed in human being is the result of intermixture of different elements biochemically. This paper will update the chapter of Imtizaj (intermixing) of elements which results in formation of temperament.
