Unani medicine is a traditional system of healing and health maintenance used in South Asia that originated from ancient Greek medicine. It was later developed by Arabic and Muslim scholars like Avicenna. Unani medicine views health as a balance between seven physiological principles including elements, temperament, bodily humors, organs, vital spirit, faculties, and functions. Practitioners called hakims treat illnesses by restoring balance and boosting the body's natural healing powers through lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, and procedures like massage and bloodletting.
