3. • "Unani" or "Yunani medicine is the term for Perso-Arabic
traditional medicine as practiced in Mughal India and in
Muslim culture in South Asia .
• The term Unani means "Greek", as the Perso- Arabic
system of medicine was based on the teachings of the
Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen .

4. • HIPPOCRATES ( 460-370BC) –
H – HI – Hippocrates was the first to set forth the principles
of the humoral theory.
• – According to Hippocrates, the human body has four
humors : blood, bile, black bile, and phlegm.
• – Hippocrates (460-370 BC), freed Medicine from the realm
of superstition and magic, and gave it the status of Science.

medical history. The medical renegade who came to be
called the “Father of Medicine”.

5. ROMAN SCHOLAR GALEN (129-200 AD)

7. 2.Unani medicine in India
The first Unani physician who
came to India was from
Afghanistan (Herat). His name
was Hakim Diya Uddin. He
entered the Court of Khusrow
Malik – the Ghaznawi ruler at
Lahore in 1160 CE.

8. Arab and Persian elaborations upon the Greek system of medicine
influenced the early development of Unani. The medical tradition
was introduced to India in the 13th century by the Delhi Sultans
and it took its own course of development during the Mughal
Empire, influenced by Indian medical teachings of Sushruta and
Charaka.

9. During the pre-independent India, it was pursued by two families of
Unani physicians viz the Aziza family of Lucknow known as Hakims of
Jhaawai Tola and the Sharifi family of the eminent Hakim Ajmal Khan
of Delhi. In independent India it was preserved and researched by
Hakim Abdul Hameed, descendents of Hakim Majeed of the famous
Hamdard Dawakhana in Delhi.

10. • PRINCIPLE OF TREATMENT
Thesystem is based on two theories such as:
1] The Hippocratic theory of four humours. The four humours are
blood, phelgm, yellow bile, and black bile.
2] Pythagorian theory of four proximate qualities. The four qualities are
the states of human body like hot, cold, moist and dry. These are
represented as earth, water, fire , and air.

11. • Finally, each humorwas associated with certain qualities
• Black Bile: Cold and Dry
• Blood: Hot and Moist
• Phlegm: Cold and Moist
• Yellow Bile: Hot and Dry
If it was a fever--a hot, dry disease--the culprit was yellow bile. So, the
doctor would try to increase its opposite, phlegm, by prescribing cold
baths. If the opposite situation prevailed (as in a cold), where there were
obvious symptoms of excess phlegm production, the regimen would be to
bundle up in bed and drink wine.

12. • The Greek ideas were put by arabian physicians as seven working
principles
1) Elements (Arkan)
2) Temperaments (Mizaj)
3) Humours (Akhlats)
4) Organs (Aaza)
5) Spirits (Arawh)
6) Faculties (Quo)
7) Functions (Afal)
All these factors are taken into account before diagnosis and prescribing
treatment. The diseased condition is considered to be due to the imbalance
between humours and accordingly treatment is given.

13. • DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis are mainly diagnosed with the help of pulse (nubz), physical
examintion of the urine and stool.
• The Unani system of medicine aims at treating the cause of the
disease and not its symptoms.
• For this purpose, history of the patient is recorded in addition to his
pulse, urine, stool examinations.

14. • TREATMENT
Diseases are treated in the following ways:
1) Ilajbil Tadbeer (Regimental Therapy) : It includes various drugless regimens
for treatment of ailments that are exercise, massage, hamam (Turkish bath),
Douches (cold and hot) and regimen for geriatrics.
2) Ilajbil Ghiza (Dietotherpy): Different diets are recommended for patients of
different diseases.
3) Ilajbil Dava (Pharmaco therapy) : It involves the treatment of cause of the
disease due to environmental factors or imbalance of humours through
a) Drugs of opposite temperament to the temperament of the disease
b) Drugs of similar temperament as of the temperament of the disease.
4) Ilajbil Yad (Surgery)
