UNANI ASPECT OF HEALTH AND DISEASES

Abstract

The Unani system of medicine provides a distinctive and comprehensive view of health and illness. This conventional approach places a strong emphasis on the harmony and balance of the body, mind, and spirit as vital components of sustaining maximum well-being. The four fundamental components of earth (ard), air (hawa), water (ma'a), and fire (naar), which correlate to the four main temperaments of cold (barid), hot (haar), moist (ratab), and dry (yabis), are said to make up the human body in accordance with Unani philosophy. It is considered that sickness results from an imbalance in one of these temperaments. Through a customised therapy strategy, the Unani method places a strong emphasis on re-establishing the body's homeostasis. Herbal therapy, dietary changes, physical therapies, and spiritual practises are among the interventions used by unani doctors. Natural compounds produced from plants, minerals, and animals are used in unani pharmacology because they are thought to have intrinsic therapeutic powers. Unani medicine places a strong emphasis on disease prevention. It highlights the significance of upholding a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, consistent exercise, and emotional stability. The importance of preventive measures including hygiene, environmental variables, and adherence to healthy sleep schedules are also stressed by unani practitioners. ABSTRACT
