Medical treatment (al-mu'alaja)

Fann 4 of Book I classifies the modes of treatment by general diseases, in thirty-two chapters. Ibn Sina says treatment is completed by three things: regimen with diet, the use of drugs, and manual procedures. The rules of regimen in quality match those of drugs, while food has its own rules of quantity: it may be withheld, reduced, adjusted or increased.
