Abstract

Varicose veins are characterized by abnormally twisted, dilated superficial vessels that are caused by the inefficient or defective valves within the vein. It is currently a prevalent disease with the incidence varying globally between 10% and 60%. The Unani Medicine (also called Greco-Arab medicine) is the ancient system of medicine practiced all around the world. According to the Unani classical text, Leech therapy (Irsal-e-Alaq) is one of the most important regimenal therapy for the successful treatment and management of varicose vein and a unique combination of Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah (Six essential factors) is involved in the prevention of this disease. The research studies have proved that medicinal leech therapy displays anticoagulant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Leech saliva contains medicinally useful bioactive molecules like hirudin, histamine, etc. that shows anti-coagulant effect and hence improve microcirculation in diseases like varicose vein. Leech therapy is reliable, well tolerated, cost effective treatment that has the potential of preventing varicose vein complications. This review seeks to describe medicinal leech therapy, present therapeutic leech species, and highlight the processes by which leech saliva affects wound healing. Additionally, the review paper highlights the role of Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah in prevention and control of varicose veins. Irregularity in diet and lifestyle may cause disturbance in normal body functioning, which may lead to lifestyle disorder that is a major risk factor thought to influence the susceptibility of varicose vein. The Unani System exerts a major influence on preventing the development of varicose vein by making modification in Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah.
水蛭疗法和 Asbab-e-sitta zarooriyah 在预防和治疗静脉曲张中的作用:综述
静脉曲张的特点是浅表血管异常扭曲、扩张,其原因是静脉内的瓣膜效率低下或存在缺陷。目前,静脉曲张是一种常见病,全球发病率在 10%至 60%之间。乌纳尼医学(又称希腊-阿拉伯医学)是一种在世界各地流传的古老医学体系。根据尤那尼经典文献,水蛭疗法(Irsal-e-Alaq)是成功治疗和控制静脉曲张的最重要的疗法之一,Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah(六大基本要素)的独特组合参与了这种疾病的预防。研究证明,药用水蛭疗法具有抗凝、抗菌、消炎和镇痛作用。水蛭唾液中含有可药用的生物活性分子,如水蛭素、组胺等,具有抗凝血作用,从而改善静脉曲张等疾病的微循环。水蛭疗法是一种可靠、耐受性好、经济有效的治疗方法,具有预防静脉曲张并发症的潜力。这篇综述旨在描述药用水蛭疗法,介绍可用于治疗的水蛭种类,并强调水蛭唾液影响伤口愈合的过程。此外,综述还强调了 Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah 在预防和控制静脉曲张方面的作用。不规律的饮食和生活方式可能会扰乱正常的身体机能,从而导致生活方式失调,而生活方式失调被认为是影响静脉曲张易感性的主要风险因素。尤那尼系统通过对 Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah 进行改良,对预防静脉曲张的发展产生了重大影响。
