Unani Medicine is a system of healthcare based on the classical clinical precepts of the early pioneers of medicine Hippocrates, the ‘father of medicine’, Galen and Ibn Sina the ‘Prince of Physicians’. Extensively practiced from east to west throughout the world till eighteenth century and remained in the Indian sub-continent up to now, it has been introduced into many countries worldwide over the past decades.
The Unani Medical system is fundamentally empirical in nature, as it draws extensively on clinical experience extending back several centuries. Even so, there is a large body of scientific evidence confirming the beneficial impact of Unani Medicine on a number of common, chronic disorders such as, arthritis, bronchial asthma and diabetes etc.
