ABSTRACT:
In recent years, traditional medical systems including Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha, Homoeopathy, Naturopathy, etc. have. Gained more and more popularity. The term “Unani” is derived from the Greek word “Ionion,” which signifies “Greek.” A set of fundamental rules known as Umoore Tabiyah govern modern medical science. These rules include: (1) Arkan (substances), (2) Mizaj (temperament), (3) Akhlat (humours), (4) Rooh (vital spirit or pneuma), (5) Tabiat (potential for maintaining equilibrium), (6) A’aza (organs), and (7) Afaal (functions). Six fundamental components make up good health: 1. Air; 2. Liquids; and 3. Food 3. Sleep and vigilance Retention and excretion 5. Exercise and relaxation 6. Rest and mental activity. Drugs are primarily employed in four different forms in the Unani System of Medicine: solid, semi-solid, liquid, and vapour. Pill (Habb), Tablet (Qurs), Powder (Safuf), and other solid dosage forms are available. Semi-solid dosage forms include Jawarish, Ma’jun, Khamira, La’uq, itrifal, and others. Decoction (Joshanda), infusion (Khīsānda ), distillate (‘Arq), syrup (Sharbat), drops (Qatūr), etc. are examples of liquid medication formulations. Emulgel is the name of the dosage form used when gels and emulsions are mixed. It is a special dose form that has been created recently for a variety of medications with either systemic or topical activity.
