# The treatment should be aimed at restoring physiological equilibrium. The various ways to bring this equilibrium are to increase the depleted nutrients, nourish those who are weak and emaciated, and reduce the one who are obese, those afflicted by heat with cooling measures and those afflicted by cold with heating measures.

Curable with some difficulty, 3. palliable and 4. Absolutely irreversible or incurable. (9-10)
