2. "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 .

3. 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. He was a dominating figure in the classical period of Greek medical history. The medical renegade who came to be called the “Father of Medicine”.

4. ROMAN SCHOLAR GALEN (129-200  AD) • Roman scholar GALEN(129-200 AD) stabilized the foundation of this science. • Arab and Persian scholars and physicians like RABBAN TABARI (725-890 AD), AL-e-RAZI (865-925 AD) and IBN -e-SINA (980-1037 AD) raised Unani System of Medicine to the great height

5. BABYLONIANS • Babylonians also   played an important role in the history of unani medicine. • During asclepain period (1200 BC) the Greek developed this art of medicine drawing upon the medical knowledge of Egyptians and Babylonians.

6. 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.

7. 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 .

8. 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.

9. PRINCIPLE OF TREATMENT The system 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.

10. Finally, each humor was 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.

11. The Greek ideas   were put by arabian physicians as seven working principles 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.

12. 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.

13. TREATMENT Diseases are treated   in the following ways: 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 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)
