UNANI MEDICINE FAQS
Common Questions About Unani
Unani is a traditional system of medicine with historical roots in Greek medicine and later development in regions including South Asia.
Mizaj refers to the traditional concept of temperament or constitution in Unani medicine. It describes an individual's unique balance of qualities (hot, cold, wet, dry) which guides dietary, lifestyle, and therapeutic choices.
A practitioner assesses your general health, medical history, lifestyle, and temperament (Mizaj). Traditional evaluation may include examining the pulse (Nabz), urine (Baul), and stool (Baraz) before recommending dietary adjustments, lifestyle routines, or herbal preparations.
While derived from natural sources, herbal formulations have active pharmacological properties and must be taken in appropriate doses. Always source products from certified manufacturers and use them under qualified clinical supervision.
No. Unani medicine is a complementary wellness discipline that supports lifestyle, vitality, and constitutional balance, but it should never replace emergency care or medically prescribed treatments for serious conditions.
Look for practitioners holding recognized professional qualifications (such as BUMS or MD in Unani Medicine) registered with the relevant statutory traditional medicine council.
