Ibn Hubal al-Baghdādī’s Perspective on Bathing and Hammams in Medieval Islamic Medicine

Ibn Hubal's discussion of bathing and hammams closely parallels that of Ibn Sīnā's <i>Kitāb al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb</i>. His descriptions, however, are more clearly articulated and accessible than those in other comparable works, and they appear to align with the principles of humoral pathology theory, which was the dominant medical paradigm of the period.
