CHAPTER 95
MEDICINE
941. Every one of the three humours described by sages, beginning with the windy one,[1] would cause disease whenever they go to either extreme.
942. The body requireth no medicine if new food is eaten only after the old food is fully digested.
943. Eat with moderation and after the food that thou hast taken is digested : that is the way to prolong thy days.
944. Wait till thy food is digested and thy appetite is keen: then eat moderately the food that agreeth with thee.
945. If thou eat abstemiously the food that doth not disagree with thee thou wilt have no troubles in the body.
- ↑ The other two are the bile and the phlegm.
