title: [Indication and constitution in the phytotherapeutic qualitative concept].
abstract: In its original form, phytotherapy is based, among other things, on qualitative concept. Starting-point of the concept are the paired terms: warmth/cold and moisture/dryness. Young people tend to have a warm constitution and older individuals a cold constitution. There are, however, type-related differences. Illnesses progress in various phases. A simple cold, for example, can also be split into a cold and warm phase. These phases should be treated separately with different remedies.
