Originating from Ibn Sina’s Canon of Medicine in 1025, TAIM identifies individual ‘humour’ types that influence our health. Our experts apply evidence-based TAIM principles, including dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, and lifestyle guidance, to enhance your body’s and spirit’s natural healing abilities.”
