To treat a person in the hot-and-cold system, a potent drink or herbal medicine of the class opposite to the disease is administered. For example, cough medicines are considered to be in the hot category, and laxatives are in the cold category.

Teenagers are advised to avoid drinking citrus fruit juices such as lemonade to prevent the development of acne.

After performing strenuous activities or any activity that causes the body to become hot, one should not eat cold food because that will create an imbalance, causing a condition called chofret. A woman who has just straightened her hair by using a hot comb and then opens a refrigerator may become a victim of chofret. This means she may catch a cold and/or possibly develop pneumonia.
