Bachelor of Unani Medicine is the gateway to a unique system of medicine which relies on natural healing that unites the body and the soul…
Persian philosopher and scientist Avicenna, considered the father of Unani System of Medicine, defined it as “the science in which we learn the various states of body in health, and when not in health, the means by which health is likely to be lost, and when lost, is likely to be restored.” In a nutshell, the Unani System of Medicine is a comprehensive and holistic approach to curing someone who is not well or is likely to fall ill. It is based on the idea of a complete well-being of the body, mind and soul individually and in relation to one another. “The Unani system fully appreciates and understands the creation of man, his nature, his constitution and his relationship to the environment. The strength of the system is its holistic approach, temperament based on principles of six essential factors of life (Asbab Sitta Zaruriya); which are pivotal for maintenance of health,” says Dr. Atiya Anjum, Clinical Registrar at Majeedia Hospital under Jamia Hamdard (Deemed to be University), Delhi.
Legacy
The Unani system originated in Greece. Its foundation was laid by none other than Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine. Later on, the Arabs rendered much of the Greek literature into Arabic and also contributed greatly to its growth. Unani gained popularity in India during the Islamic rule, but with the advent of the British and introduction of allopathy, it suffered huge setbacks. It had the continued support of the Sharififamily in Delhi, the Azizi family in Lucknow and the Nizam of Hyderabad that helped it survive the British rule.
