Healing Skin and Hair Starts With Understanding Your Temperament
What Unani medicine can teach Gen Z about personalized skincare (before you buy another viral product)
Everyone’s skin reacts differently to the same thing. That’s not random — that’s temperament.
What Is Temperament?
Unani medicine believes your body has a natural state — hot, cold, moist, or dry — called your mizaj. It shapes how your body behaves and reacts.

Â
Common Patterns:
- Hot-moist: Prone to oily skin, redness, and breakouts
- Cold-dry: Gets dry patches, flaky scalp, weak digestion
- Cold-moist: Puffy skin, sluggish metabolism, bloating
- Hot-dry: Irritated scalp, inflamed acne, light sleep

Why Skincare Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All?
Some people glow with milk masks. Others get rashes. It’s not the product — it’s the mismatch.
Â
Â
What To Do?
- Observe: Are you hot or cold? Dry or moist?
- Adapt: Choose products and food that balance you — not copy others.
- Align: When your temperament is balanced, your glow is effortless.

Final Thought
Unani says real healing starts when you stop copying and start understanding. Know your temperament — and let your routine finally feel like it’s made for you.
