Mission
We want to bring back the golden era of Unani System of Medicine, as they say "History repeats itself".
Unani Medicines
The Unani System of Medicine has originated in Greece (Unan).Hippocrates ( 460 – 377 BC),the "Father of Medicine" for the first time gave scientific status to this system. The teachings of Hippocrates form the basis of the theoretical frame work of Unani Medicine. After Hippocrates, Jalinoos (Galen), Abu Baker Ibn-e- Zakaria Razi (Razer) and Ibn-e- Sina (Avicenna) enriched the Unani System into a complete, systematic form whereby it flourished into a Golden Era.
​
The fundamentals of this system are based on Hippocrates' Humoral Theory. This presupposes the presence of four humors in the body. They are Dam (Blood), Balgham (Phlegm), Safra (Yellow bile), Sauda (Black bile).According to Unani philosophy the health and illness of a person depends upon the balance of these humors in the body. They remain in specific proportion in each individual. These humors determined the Mizaj “Temperament” of each person. If the proportion of these four humors is disturbed, disease sets in. Therefore the Hakim adopts different regimes and prescribed different herbal formulation or compound medicine to bring back all the four temperaments in their normal proportions so as to restore the health of a person.
Though, all the different systems of medicine considers "Hippocrates" as the Father of Medicine, the Unani System of Medicine is the only system of medicine still following the principles of medicine laid down by Hippocrates.
