The Unani system of medicine is among the most widely spread and accepted form of medication and physician remedy across the globe. Unan means Greek (in Arbic). The origin is traced back to the Greek literature, which has been a source of quite a lot of scientific contributions. Hippocrates, who lived around BC 400, and is normally attributed as the father of modern medicine, had laid the foundation stone for this efficient system.

Onwards, famous medical personalities like Zakariya Rasi, Ibn Seena, Jalinoos, etc, tried to contemplate this system of medicine in its entirety. The Unani medicine is based around the concepts of the four humours: Phlegm (Balgham), Blood (Dam), Yellow bile (Ṣafrā') and Black bile (Saudā'). The Four elements Theory and Four Humour Theory is the main ideological platform where Unani System of medicine is based upon. 'Al Qanoon Fi-Tib' (The Canon of Medicine) by Ibnuseena was once considered the most authentic and reliable manuscript and source of therapeutic comprehension. Most of Unani treatments are reliant upon this book. The Mughal Dynasty gave ample promotion of this system which in turn had reached India through Arabian diplomatic and trade relations with the country. Hakim Ajmal Kahan (Delhi), who was a freedom fighter and a Doctor, redeemed the System which the British invasion of the country had blown and smacked.
