Moderation distinguishes and takes its time in determining the origin of the disorders. The symptoms of psychological and organic disorders resemble the symptoms of the evil eye. Therefore, the healer must distinguish the origin of the symptoms (organic, psychological, spiritual) and not rush to attribute them to the evil eye before ensuring that the body is free from organic and psychological diseases, while searching for evidence that indicates the evil eye.
