Abstract

This article analyzes the role of the great physician Avicenna’s theory of temperament in the field of pharmacy, particularly in evaluating the nature of medicinal substances and their effects on the human body. In ancient medicine, it was emphasized that a drug should be selected in accordance with a patient's temperament, a concept that aligns closely with today’s personalized medicine. This article explores the theoretical foundations of Avicenna’s ideas, their practical applications, and how they integrate with modern pharmaceutical science.
