The normal state is conducive to health and the abnormal state causes disease. The abnormality of a humor may be expressed in quantitative and qualitative levels. Increase and decrease humors are changes in quantity. Denature of humor is a qualitative abnormality. Increase and denature of humors cause abnormal functions whereas their decrease causes reduced function or lack of function.
