  bitterness and tonic effects of stomach. This
  explanation appeared unsatisfactory to him.
  Hahnemann himself ingested cinchona juice,

• He was attacked by symptoms very similar to
  malarial fever. This unexpected result set up in
  his mind a new train of thoughts and he conducted
  similar experiments on himself and other
  individuals with other medicines whose curative
  action in certain diseases had been well
  established.

  College and Hindustani Dawakhana a

22

• Today the Unani system of medicine with
  hospitals and educational and research
  institutions, forms an integral part of the
  national health care delivery system.

23
Principles Concepts

• The basic theory of Unani system is based upon
  the well- known four- humour theory of
  Hippocrates. This presupposes the presence, in
  the body, of four humours viz., blood, phlegm,
  yellow bile and black bile.
• The human body is considered to be made up of the
  following seven components are
• i.Elements (Arkan)
• ii.Temperament (Mizaj)

24

• iii.Humors (Akhlat)
• iv.Organs (Aaza)
• v.Spirits (Arwah)
• vi.Faculties (Quwa)
• vii.Functions (Afaal)

25
Elements (Arkan)

• The human body contains four elements. Each of
  the four elements has its own temperament as
  follows
• Element TemperamentAir Hot and MoistEarth Cold
  and DryFire Hot and DryWater Cold and Moist

26
Temperament (Mizaj)

• In the Unani system, the temperament of the
  individual is very important as it is considered
  to be unique. The individuals temperament is
  believed to be the result of the interaction of
  these four elements.

27
Humors (Akhlat)

• Humours are those moist and fluid parts of the
  body which are produced after transformation and
  metabolism of the aliments they serve the
  function of nutrition, growth and repair and
  produce energy, for the preservation of
  individual and his species.
• The humors are responsible for maintaining
  moisture of different organs of the body and also
  provide nutrition to the body.

28
Organs (Aaza)

• These are the various organs of the human body.
  The health or disease of each individual organ
  affects the state of health of the whole body.

29
Spirits (Arwah)

• Ruh (Spirit) is a gaseous substance, obtained
  from the inspired air, it helps in all the
  metabolic activities of the body. It burns the
  akhlat latifah to produce all kinds of quwa
  (powers) and hararat ghariziyah, it is the source
  of vitality for all the organs of the body.
• These are considered to be the life force and
  are, therefore, important in the diagnosis and
  treatment of disease. These are the carriers of
  different powers, which make the whole body
  system and its parts functional.

30
Faculties (Quwa)

• These are of three kinds
• Natural power (Quwa Tabiyah)
• Natural power is the power of metabolism and
  reproduction. Liver is the seat of this power and
  the process is carried on in every tissue of the
  body. Metabolism is concerned with the processes
  of nutrition and growth of human body. Nutrition
  comes from the food and is carried to all parts
  of the body, while growth power is responsible
  for the construction and growth of human
  organism.
• Psychic power (Quwa Nafsaniyah)

31

• Psychic power refers to nervous and psychic
  power. It is located in side the brain and is
  responsible for perceptive and motive power.
  Perceptive power conveys impressions or sensation
  and motive power brings about movements as a
  response to sensation.
• Vital power (Quwa Haywaniyah)
• Vital power is responsible for maintaining life
  and enables all the organs to accept the effect
  of psychic power. This power is located in the
  heart. It Keeps life running in the tissues.

32
Functions (Afaal)

• This component refers to the movements and
  functions of all the organs of the body.
• In case of a healthy body the various organs are
  not only in proper shape but are also performing
  their respective functions.
• This makes it necessary to have full knowledge of
  the functions of the human body in full detail.

33
Diagnosis

• The Diagnostic process in Unani system is
  dependent on observation and physical
  examination.
• Diagnosis involves investigating the causes of
  disease thoroughly and in detail. For this, the
  physicians depend mainly on pulse reading and
  examination of urine and stool.
• The ten conditions of pulse observed during the
  diagnosis are
• i.Quantity
• ii.Force
• iii.Duration of movement

34

• iv.Condition of the vessel wall
• v.Volume
• vi.Duration of the rest period
• vii.Palpitation of the pulse
• viii.Equality and inequality
• ix.Balance of the pulse

  diagnosis of urinogenital disorders, pathogenesis
  of blood and other humors, metabolic disorders
  and liver diseases.
