Meaning and origin

Unani means a drug that is a symbol of life. The name derives from the word "Ionian" that originated in Greece. 'Tibb' refers to the knowledge of the health and health of the human body, or medical. ' Tibb-E-Unani' is therefore an old, time-tested medical system, 5,000 years from Greece.

Like any other form of medical science, Unani Medical seeks to find the best way for a person to live a healthy life with minimal or zero sick leave. It regulates drugs, diets, beverages and other groups, including codes of conduct that help to maintain and promote positive health, as well as disease prevention and treatment. The ultimate goal of these scientific prescriptions and bans is to create a healthy society.

Traditional medical systems are undoubtedly prevalent in countries all over the world. But most of them are empirical. On the other hand, Unani and its affiliates have basic principles of rationality and science. It is different from other medical branches because the drugs it uses are natural in their source and form. It emphasizes the retention of natural compounds that are part of the human body and therefore only specifies natural remedies. Unani Medicine believes that by using clean and fresh water, breathing clean air and eating fresh food can prevent disease. Also, the balance between the mind and the body should be maintained so that the metabolic process can be easily carried out and the waste discharged from the body. Unani Medicine also believes that all forms of life are derived from the ocean.

Description

According to today's Unani discipline, the human body is made up of seven natural and basic ingredients called "Umoor e Tabaiyah", which is responsible for maintaining health.

these are: –

•Arkan [Element]

• Mizaj [temperament]

• Akhlaat [humor]

• Aaza [organ]

• Arwah [vital or nerve]

•Quwa [College]

• Afaal [function]

Loss of any of these essential ingredients or changes in their physical condition can lead to illness and even death. All of these factors must be considered in order to achieve the correct diagnosis in order to achieve the correct treatment.

Dr. Unani describes that each person has a special ability called the body's defense mechanism or Unani's language – 'Tabiyat-e-Muddabare Badan'. 'Tabiyat' can be defined as the overall structural function and psychological characteristics of the person. 'Tabiyat' or nature is the best doctor and keep the balance of four body fluids or 'Akhlat'.

Their quantity and quality should be based on the body's natural chemical composition.

The UNANI system that addresses the entire health problem treats disease as a way to clean, purify and balance our events on the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual levels.

Allah [God of Everyone] said in the Qur'an: "You may have one thing that requires you not to like things that are good for you; and what you like is not good for you." Imam al-Ghazzali [ra] Expressed the idea that "disease is one of the forms of experience in which humans acquire God's knowledge; as he said, the disease is my servant, and I am attached to the friend of my choice." "Just because of feeling" "Good does not necessarily mean that it is good for us. On the contrary, if we have a painful moment, we cannot treat this experience as “bad” without understanding how and what the results of these feelings will be. "Cure crisis" is the natural function of the body to eliminate toxins: vomiting, nosebleeds, diarrhea, fever, sweating and frequent urination, all of which are completely healthy.

While acknowledging the existence of microbes, the UNANI Tibb system believes that the original imbalance of temperament provides a changing biological environment in which viruses and bacteria can thrive. Treatments that kill microbes can provide a temporary "cure," but if the humor is not restored to the proper balance, the disease will recur. Therefore, the UNANI Tibb system is a search for a balance between body humor and temperament, primarily through proper metabolism of the body's nutrients.

Unani medical barrier

Despite being a complete treatment system, similar to other medical systems, the Unani system has drawbacks in terms of application and effectiveness. As described in ancient Unani textbooks, a large number of drugs ranging from herbs and animals to mineral sources are sometimes so vague that the authenticity must be determined by modern pharmacological assessment [through basic descriptive pharmacology] before the drug can be used. . In addition, the use of gemstones and minerals in Unani's medicine, the main component of many different formulations [drugs containing multiple ingredients] is expensive. These items are often not available, which hinders effective treatment.
