Unani Medicine Practitioners

Unani Medicine Practitioners

Unani Medicine Practitioners are trained experts in the Unani system of medicine, a holistic healing tradition deeply rooted in the teachings of ancient Greek physicians like Hippocrates and later expanded by renowned Islamic scholars such as Avicenna. The Unani system is based on the concept of maintaining balance among the four bodily humors—blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Practitioners focus on the patient’s individual Mizaj (temperament) and examine lifestyle, environment, and emotional health alongside physical symptoms. Diagnosis includes techniques like pulse examination, urine and stool analysis, and detailed personal history, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition.

Unani practitioners typically undergo formal education through recognized institutions, earning degrees such as the Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS). Their training combines classical Unani theories with modern scientific knowledge, ensuring a well-rounded medical approach. These practitioners often use natural remedies, including herbal medicines, dietary management, and regimental therapies like cupping (Hijama), massage, steam therapy, and exercise. They play an important role in managing chronic illnesses, skin disorders, digestive issues, and general wellness. In countries like India, Pakistan, and parts of the Middle East, Unani medicine is integrated into national healthcare systems. With growing interest in traditional and complementary medicine worldwide, Unani Medicine Practitioners continue to serve communities with time-tested, natural, and personalized care.
