Unani medicine, also known as Unani Tibb, is a traditional system of healing that originated in ancient Greece and has been practiced in various forms in the Middle East and South Asia. It is based on the principles of the four humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Unani practitioners believe that the balance of these humors within the body is essential for health, and any imbalance can lead to disease.

Key components of Unani treatment include:

• Diet (Ilaj bil Ghiza): Unani medicine emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet tailored to an individual's temperament and the nature of their illness. Food is considered both a preventive measure and a form of treatment.
• Herbal Medicine (Ilaj bil Dawa): Use of natural substances, primarily herbs, to treat various ailments. Unani medicine employs a wide range of plant-based remedies.
• Regimental Therapy (Ilaj bil Tadbeer): Techniques such as cupping (Hijama), massage (Dalk), exercise (Riyazat), and leeching (Taleeq) are used to detoxify the body and restore balance.
• Surgery (Ilaj bil Yad): Though not as common as other methods, surgical procedures are used when necessary, often influenced by traditional practices.
• Psychotherapy (Ilaj bil Nafsiyat): Mental health is considered crucial in Unani medicine, and therapies may include counseling and spiritual practices to support mental well-being.

Unani medicine is holistic, treating the patient as a whole rather than just the symptoms, and it often works alongside modern medicine. It emphasizes lifestyle changes, preventive care, and personalized treatment plans.
