Abstract

The approach of personalized medicine has received a great deal of attention over the last century, emphasizing attention to the patient rather than the disease. Personalized medicine tries to plan the patient;#39s condition and treatment method by considering the culture, personal preferences and experiences and health beliefs of the person as well as the values and lifestyle of the person, and even considering the psychosocial condition. Acknowledging the lack of knowledge of traditional medicine such as Persian, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine about "Omixes", it can be argued that these medical paradigms have been emphasizing individual differences and their relationship with health for thousands of years. Many people know Iranian medicine as the famous theory of temperaments and quadrant humor. Without entering into a philosophical fallacy about the abrogation or obsolescence of this theory, from a practical point of view, it should be said that the separation of human beings and attention to their inherent differences and consequently the same functions and responses of their bodies, whether congenital (Intrinsic temperament) and whether under the influence of extrinsic and environmental factors (acquired temperament) is the basis of this thinking. Therefore, every human being, in turn, is an independent book that is influenced by his inner and outer and all direct and indirect biological factors of his life, and the spectrum of his health and illness is defined in this framework. In this study, the relationship between traditional persian medicine and personalized medicine has been studied.
