India is well recognized for their traditional systems of medicine such as Unani, Ayurveda and Siddha that prevailed here from centuries and these are important components of the health care system. Unani Medicine is worldwide well ancient traditional system of medicine. There are over 25,000 herbal products documented in the traditional medical literature. In India more than 43% of the total flowering plants are reported to be of medicinal importance. The drugs in Unani system of medicine are derived from three sources i.e. plant, animal and mineral but mainly from herbs. Dhāk (Butea monosperma) one of the important medicinal plants in Unani medical system is used for therapeutic purpose. Many Unani scholars mentioned this drug in their treatises. Also, there exists a vast knowledge in the form of non codified or oral tradition for therapeutic uses of Butea monosperma. Different parts of the plant including bark, root, gum, leaves, flowers and seeds show pharmacological activities due to presence of Phytoconstituents like, Butrin, alkaloids, monospermoside, glucosides, triterpenes and various elements.

In Unani literature, it is referred as 'yaraqān' which is caused by inflammatory diseases of liver, intra or extra-hepatic obstructions, and poisoning due to drugs or animals. Several Unani drugs including Ma'jun Dabid al-Ward, syrup Jigreen, Araq-iMako, Araq-i-Kasni, etc are frequently used for the treatment of jaundice and liver disorders including infective hepatitis. A 16 year old male patient suffering from yellowish discoloration of sclera, skin, mucous membranes and urine, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and fever for one week admitted in the male ward of RRIUM, Chennai. The laboratory investigations revealed severe hyperbilirubinemia, raised serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and negative HBsAg. On the basis of history, clinical observations and laboratory investigations, the patient was diagnosed as a case of 'yaraqān' (jaundice) which may be due to acute viral hepatitis. A Unani regimen comprising Ma'jun Dabid al-Ward (5 g twice a day), syrup Jigreen (10 ml twice a day), Araq-i-Mako (75 ml twice a day), Araq-iKasni (75 ml twice a day) for 25 days, Sharbat-i-Khaksi (10 ml twice a day for 7 days), and Habb-i-Tursh Mushtahi (1 g twice a day) for 15 days were given by oral route. The fever has subsided after 7 days and the appetite improved after 15 days of the treatment. The yellow discoloration of sclera and mucous membranes started to reduce gradually th from 7 day onwards. At the end of the treatment, the laboratory reports revealed that the total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT and ALP were within normal range. The core objective of this case report is to re-emphasize the effectiveness of Unani medicine particularly in the treatment of jaundice. Thus, this data may be helpful to increase awareness amongst the common people and scientific community for the popularity of Unani medicine in general and for the treatment of jaundice and liver disorders in particular.","PeriodicalId":13351,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Unani Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84925147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clove (Syzygium aromaticumL.) is a plant-derived drug with a long history of usage in Unani medicine due to its numerous pharmacological benefits attributable to its phytoconstituents. Aims and objectives: The basic aim of this article is to present a comprehensive report on the potential benefits of clove as described in the Unani system of medicine as well as present an analysis of contemporary scientific researches in order to explore the prospects for its application. Materials and methods:Classical data were collected from the manuscripts of Unani medicine like Al Qanoon Fit Tib, Khazain al-Advia, Makhzan al-Advia, Muheet-i-Azam, Al-Jami li Mufradat al- Advia wa'l Aghziya, etc. An online search was performed in Pub Med, Scopus, Wiley Online Library and Google Scholar to elucidate the various pharmacological activities of clove. Results: The potential of clove shown by its chemical composition, therapeutic use and bioactivities revealed its antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects. Sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, hydrocarbon, and phenolic compounds, are found in abundance in S. aromaticu, with eugenyl acetate, eugenol, and β-caryophyllene being the mostimportant phytochemicals reportedin clove oil. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated its multiple bioactivities, exhibiting its effect on diseases including halitosis, odontalgia, thyroidcancer, rheumatoidarthritis, nephrotoxicity, and vaginal candidiasis, among others.

Despite the abundance of new medicines and technologies for coping with them, an increasing number of patients are searching for simpler, milder therapies to improve their quality of life and minimize iatrogenic complications. Unani herbal regimens, diets, and medications, as described in Unani literature, have been shown to be safe and effective in maintaining oral health. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to look into and identify significant traditional Unani oral hygiene maintaining methods, as well as how they relate to today's oral hygiene preservation arsenal. Materials and Methods: Information regarding oral health-promoting practices was taken from published materials, ancient and modern recorded classical scripts, Unani pharmacopeias, and databases such as Pub Med, Web of Science,Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Results: Unani medicine has a huge description of various medical herbs with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, according to ancestral medicinal books and healers with the current scientific shreds of evidence. Several experimental researches has confirmed that these medicinal herbs have antibacterial, anti-infective, antimicrobial, and antiplaque properties, suggesting that they could be useful as a complementary treatment for periodontal diseases or as oral health promoters. However, there is still a scarcity of studies to back up their use and effectiveness. Conclusion: It is critical to scientifically demonstrate the underlying benefits of Unani medicine, as well as to elucidate and prove their potential therapeutic uses, for the sake of promoting oral health.
