What Is Unani Medicine?

The Science Behind Islamic Healing

Unani — from the Arabic Yūnānī (Ionian/Greek) — is one of the world's oldest systems of natural medicine. Refined by Ibn Sina (Avicenna) in Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, it has been practised for over 1,400 years across the Islamic world and South Asia. It treats the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Every programme at Tigris Valley is built around Mizaj (temperament). Arkan (Earth, Water, Fire, Air) and Akhlat (humours) guide diagnosis. Tadbeer — regimenal therapy — is primary medicine: lifestyle, diet and physical therapies. Ilaj bil Dawa adds classical herbal, mineral and bioactive formulations when they are needed.
