01Our purpose

Chylos’s ultimate goal is to uncover, research and present the traditional system of the four temperaments, so the public can reason about it and apply it safely.

02Not medical advice

Everything on Chylos, including our films, books, editions, investigations, data and tools, is editorial and research work, offered for general information. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified health professional.

03Our tools

Our Temperament Profiling System and Everyday Food and Herb Temperament Guide follow the traditional system of the four temperaments. They are tools for self-understanding. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

04See a doctor

  • Always consult a qualified doctor about any health condition.
  • Do not stop, change or delay medical treatment because of anything you read on Chylos.
  • Ask your doctor before changing your diet, herbs or medication while under treatment.

05Herbs and food

Herbs and some foods can be strong. They can interact with medication and may not be safe during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for children, or with certain health conditions. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using herbs.

06Emergencies

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately.

07A historical system

The four temperaments are a traditional system with a long history. Many of its ideas have not been tested or confirmed by modern science. We present them to be understood and examined, and we say clearly what is known and what is not.

08Data and sources

Statistics on Chylos come from public sources such as the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the UK Office for National Statistics. They are accurate to our best knowledge at the time of publication and may change as new data is released.

09Your responsibility

Any decision you make based on Chylos content is your own responsibility. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Chylos accepts no liability for actions taken based on its content.
