摘　　要：Tibb also known as Unani-Tibb,Greco-Arab,Western Holistic,Unani and Persian medicine,is an ancient holistic medical system that originated approximately 10000 years ago,based on the humoral and temperamental theories that was hypothesised by Hippocrates and Galen.The“completeness”of this medical discipline as“a science of medicine-the art of care”was greatly influenced by renowned scholars including Ibn Sina during the 9th and 13th century,who refined the philosophical principles of;physis,temperament,humours,and the six lifestyle factors,of which physis,the body’s natural ability to heal itself,is a primary principle in the maintenance and restoration of health.Tibb as“a science of medicine”is detailed within the context of Ibn Sina’s principle of cause and effect and the“art of care”is highlighted in the holistic and fully integrative approach of Tibb,based on its philosophical principles.The paper concludes with a brief comparison between Tibb and Western medicine.
