Book excerpt: In 'Unani Medicine in the Making', Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth examines the contemporary institutions and practices of Graeco-Islamic healing in India. Drawing on interviews with practitioners, clinical observations, and Urdu sources, the book focuses on Unani's multiplicity, scrutinizing apparent tensions between the understanding of Unani as a system of medicine and its multiple enactments as Islamic medicine, medical science, or alternative medicine. Ethnographic details provide vivid descriptions of the current practices of Unani in India and invite readers to rethink the idea that humoral medicine is incommensurable with modern science. Ultimately, the book also discusses the relationship of Unani with Muslim communities, examining the growing practice of Prophetic Medicine in Urban India and the increasing representation of Unani as Islamic Medicine.

Download or read book Avicenna s Medicine written by Mones Abu-Asab and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first contemporary translation of the 1,000-year-old text at the foundation of modern medicine and biology • Presents the actual words of Avicenna translated directly from the original Arabic, removing the inaccuracies and errors of most translators • Explains current medical interpretations and ways to apply Avicenna’s concepts today, particularly for individualized medicine • Reveals how Avicenna’s understanding of the “humors” corresponds directly with the biomedical classes known today as proteins, lipids, and organic acids A millennium after his life, Avicenna remains one of the most highly regarded physicians of all time. His Canon of Medicine, also known as the Qanun, is one of the most famous and influential books in the history of medicine, forming the basis for our modern understanding of human health and disease. It focused not simply on the treatment of symptoms, but on finding the cause of illness through humoral diagnosis—a method still used in traditional Unani and Ayurvedic medicines in India. Originally written in Arabic, Avicenna’s Canon was long ago translated into Latin, Persian, and Urdu, yet many of the inaccuracies from those first translations linger in current English translations. Translated directly from the original Arabic, this volume includes detailed commentary to explain current biomedical interpretations of Avicenna’s theories and ways to apply his treatments today, particularly for individualized medicine. It shows how Avicenna’s understanding of the humors corresponds directly with the biomedical definition of proteins, lipids, and organic acids: the nutrient building blocks of our blood and body. With this new translation of the first volume of his monumental work, Avicenna’s Canon becomes just as relevant today as it was 1,000 years ago.

This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature has blessed India with a vast variety of herbal and medicinal plants and shrubs that grows in different climatic regions from the frozen Himalayas in the north to the tropical forests in the south. From times this immemorial rich beauty has been used in preparing herbal medicine to cure various disease and to promote a great repository of this knowledge, organized in the from of unani and ayurvedic herbal systems of medicine.The system has a mass following and word wide acceptability.UNANI was derived from the word IONIAN which indicates it origin to Greece TIBB means medicine. Unani system of medicine is a synthesis of Greek and Arabs system. Unani physicians were the first to classify the disease on the basis of different anatomical and physiological symptoms of the body. Hippocrate (460-377BC) who firstly postulated the concept of disease is due to the imbalance of humors and hence emphasized on natural knowledge and hence freed Medicine from the realm of superstition and magic, and gave it the status of science. Arab physicians introduced unani pathy in India which took firms root in the soil soon. Unani pathy had its days in India during 13th and 17th century's .soon it spread all over the country and remained popular among the masses, even after the downfall of Mughal Empire. It got a set back during British rule but still remained in practice as it enjoyed the faith of masses. The unani pathy survived during British rule due to the efforts of the sharifi family in delhi.the Azizi family of Lucknow and the Nizams of Hyderabad. Hakim ajmal khan (1868-1927) from sharifi family was an outstanding physicians and scholar of unani medicine kept the tempo high. Unani medicine, as is well known, based on the Hippocratic humoral theory. This theory supposes the presence of four humuors in the body viz: blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. The mizaj of individuals are expressed by word damawi (sanguine), balghami (phlegmatic), safrawi (choleric) and saudawi (melancholic) according to the dominancy of the humour. Every person is supposed to have a unique humoral constitution which represents his healthy state and any change in this state causes illness of the said person. The severity of the disease depends directly upon the change in equilibrium from mizaj. There are three major quwa (faculties) which regulate human body viz. Quwwate nafsania (psychic faculties), Quwwate haivania (vital faculties) and Quwwate tabiyya (physical faculties). These quwa (faculties) are specific for a particular tissue or organ on which the specific functions of that organ depend. Quwwate tabiyya is concerned with taghzia (nutrition), namu (growth) and tawleed (reproduction) and jigar is considered uzwe raees (epicenter) of this quwwat. Quwwate haivaniya is concerned with tadbeer of rooh, which brings life to the part it supplies. Qalb is uzwe raees of this faculty. Quwwat nafsania is concerned with intellect, sensory and motor functions and dimagh (brain) is supposed to be seat of this faculty.
