Obesity
Obesity in Unani medicine is seen as an imbalance in the body’s humors, especially an excess of Balgham (phlegm) and Dam (blood), leading to fat accumulation. Treatment focuses on regulating diet (Ilaj bil Ghiza), using herbs that improve digestion and metabolism (Ilaj bil Dawa), and applying regimental therapies like Hijama (cupping) and Riyazat (exercise) to restore balance, enhance circulation, and promote gradual weight reduction.
Fever
Fever in Unani medicine is regarded as an imbalance in the body’s innate heat and humors. It is caused by the accumulation of morbid matter and an excess of heat. Treatment focuses on restoring balance through cooling herbs, dietary changes (Ilaj bil Ghiza), and detoxification therapies such as sweating and purgation. Hydration and regimental therapies like mild enemas or bloodletting may also be used to regulate body temperature and restore health.
