Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the role of bodily fluids and humors from the perspective of PM and their influence on physiotherapy. According to PM, fluids are in a continuous flow from the time of nourishment until excretion, and the bio-physical and biochemical properties of the body are affected by the method and type of diet.

Methods and Materials: This research was conducted using a library-based approach combined with an experimental perspective, collecting data from reputable sources in the fields of physiotherapy and PM.

Findings: The findings indicate that several factors, such as physical inactivity, wearing tight clothing, increased concentration of bodily humors, and psychological stress, can lead to reduced blood and fluid circulation, thereby disrupting the healing process in physiotherapy. Based on these results, dietary modifications and attention to Iranian medicinal treatment methods can help improve the properties of bodily fluids and accelerate recovery. Particularly, suitable dietary regimens that alter the viscosity and thickness of bodily humors can enhance the effectiveness of physiotherapy techniques.

Conclusion: This research demonstrates that paying attention to the bio-physical aspects of bodily fluids and humors in PM can be considered an effective complementary approach in physiotherapy. Integrating Iranian medical perspectives with modern physiotherapy methods offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary strategy to enhance the speed and quality of the healing process.
