THE CLASSICAL UNANI FRAMEWORK

A living system.
Not a collection of parts.

Explore the classical architecture surrounding tabi‘at—your body's natural organizing intelligence —elements, qualities, temperament, humours, organs, faculties, functions, and pneuma—translated with modern guardrails.ENTER THE FOUNDATION MAP

THE CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE

Tabi‘at at the center.
Eight connected lenses.

THE FOUR PHYSICAL QUALITIES

Two axes.
Four compound patterns.

Heat and coldness form one axis; moisture and dryness form the other. Their pairings shape the elemental shorthand used throughout Circle.UNDERSTAND THE QUALITIES →

KEEPING THE LINE CLEAR

Tradition gives context.
Evidence governs claims.

01

Historical theory

We explain concepts in their own intellectual setting without pretending they are modern anatomy or physiology.

02

Educational metaphor

Elements and temperament organize reflection; they do not diagnose disease or determine supplement safety.

03

Modern clinical boundary

Symptoms, medications, disease, and treatment decisions remain with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.

THE TRADITIONAL SCOPE

Four modes of care.
One important distinction.

Unani literature describes a complete medical system—not merely a lifestyle quiz. CoreVital teaches selected foundations but does not provide Unani clinical practice.

Traditional use of diet as part of an individualized care plan.

‘ILĀJ BI’L-TADBĪR

Regimenal therapy

A clinical category that can include procedures and structured regimens.
