Unani System of Medicine (USM)
The Unani system of medicine (USM) is the most ancient style of medicine has lived with the belief of treating a patient “inside out”, by restoring the balance between the organ systems, leading to a healthier life. Good health and natural wellness for all, with care and compassion at an affordable price are the guiding principles
The Unani system of medicine (USM) is traced to the system of Greek medicine developed during the Arab civilization, is also called the Greco- Arab system. The name Unani (Ionian) is considered indicative of the Greek origin of the system, though the European historians call it Arab medicine.
It was Hippocrates, the Greek philosopher-physician (460 to 377 BCE), who relieved medicine from the grip of superstition and magic and gave it the status of science. The theoretical frame work of USM is based on the teachings of Hippocrates. Subsequent to him, a number of Greek scholars have enriched the system considerably. Of them was Galen (131—210 CE) standing out as the one who established the fundamentals of USM on which the Arab physicians like Rhazes (850-925 CE) and Avicinna (980-1037
CE) constructed an imposing edifice. Thus there is some justification in calling Unani as a Greco-Arab (Islamic) system. By the time the Muslim religion came into being, Unani System of Medicine was in practice.
Most medicines and remedies used in USM are from common herbs, sherbs, minerals and animal sources. USM has shown remarkable results in curing the diseases and disorders like Nervous system disease eg; congenital Hydrocephalus, Brain tumour, Paralysis, Cardiac Diseases eg; Angina, vessels blockage, Hypertension, Bronchial Asthma, Pleurisy, Liver Diseases, Kidney Diseases eg; Acute Renal Failure, Chronic Rena Failure, Renal Stones, Male & Female Diseases and several other acute and chronic diseases where conventional and other systems are failed.
