Adulteration and improper identification are two demons often haunting traditional system of medicine in general and Unani system in particular. These two demons often affect the effectiveness of medicinal plants. Medicinal plants are natural gift to human lives to promote disease free healthy life, only when used in their original and purest form. Standardization has thus, become priority for modern herbal medicine industry. Good quality assurance is need of an hour while dealing with medicinal plants. Standardization of medicinal plants used in USM is becoming important and given priority in modern herbal medicine industry today in view of their safety and efficacy demand. This study was aimed to evaluate the Physico-chemical, macroscopical, microscopical and preliminary phytochemical properties of one of the victim drug Sosan Asmanjuni-Iris ensata Thunb. which is available in the market in adulterated form. A detailed pharmacognostical studies along with physiochemical and phytochemical studies of the Iris ensata from identified source (RRIUM Srinagar herbal garden) was carried out to make it as reference in near future.

A large fraction of the world population, especially in the developing and underdeveloped countries depends mainly on the traditional system of medicine. India is well recognized for their traditional systems of medicine such as Unani, Ayurveda and Siddha that prevailed here from centuries and these are important components of the health care system. Unani Medicine is worldwide well ancient traditional system of medicine. There are over 25,000 herbal products documented in the traditional medical literature. In India more than 43% of the total flowering plants are reported to be of medicinal importance. The drugs in Unani system of medicine are derived from three sources i.e. plant, animal and mineral but mainly from herbs. Dhāk (Butea monosperma) one of the important medicinal plants in Unani medical system is used for therapeutic purpose. Many Unani scholars mentioned this drug in their treatises. Also, there exists a vast knowledge in the form of non codified or oral tradition for therapeutic uses of Butea monosperma. Different parts of the plant including bark, root, gum, leaves, flowers and seeds show pharmacological activities due to presence of Phytoconstituents like, Butrin, alkaloids, monospermoside, glucosides, triterpenes and various elements. In this paper, the botanical description of the drug is provided along with the pharmacological actions, therapeutic uses, dose and uses mentioned in Unani classical literature with ethno-botanical uses as well as phytochemical and pharmacological studies on this important plant

Previous research has revealed a profound and broad-spectrum of psychological impact that outbreaks can inflict on people. The Covid 19 pandemic has disrupted critical mental health services in 93% of countries worldwide. Studies have reported a high prevalence of psychological distress with longer duration of quarantine associated with an increased prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder and depressive symptoms. The importance of diet and the potential role of micronutrients, macronutrients, minerals and anti-oxidants in modifying mental health have been proved by several studies. Hence particular attention should now be paid to promote healthy eating and maintain good nutrition during a difficult life stage like Covid 19 pandemic. This review study suggests some of very essential nutrients and diets that can boost immunity as well as the brain health of Covid survivors.

In present era, Waja'al Zahr (Low back Pain) is the most common problem hindering patient to perform its daily life activities. LBP is currently one of the prime reasons for disability worldwide. The low back pain prevalence and estimate of the point prevalence range from 1.0% to 58.1% and the one-year prevalence of from 0.8% to 82.5% It is mostly prevalent in middle age group population. Individuals who suffer from low back pain may have a wide range of problems like physical, psychological, physiological and so on. People who have previously had low back pain episodes have increased risk of low back pain recurrence of the majority of the population with low back pain have low level of disability resulting in a very high societal burden. First description regarding Waja 'al Zahr in Unani System of Medicine (USM) was stated by Buqrat (Hippocrates). According to USM, accumulation of Kham Madda (raw morbid matter) in joint structures results in aberrant temperament (Su '-i-Mijaz) and its leads to Waja'al Zahr. In this review paper, authors tried to discuss about the concept of Waja 'al Zahr and its management in both USM and modern medicine.

Jaundice due to hepatitis viruses is considered to be a most prevalent disease worldwide. In Unani literature, it is referred as 'yaraqān' which is caused by inflammatory diseases of liver, intra or extra-hepatic obstructions, and poisoning due to drugs or animals. Several Unani drugs including Ma'jun Dabid al-Ward, syrup Jigreen, Araq-iMako, Araq-i-Kasni, etc are frequently used for the treatment of jaundice and liver disorders including infective hepatitis. A 16 year old male patient suffering from yellowish discoloration of sclera, skin, mucous membranes and urine, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and fever for one week admitted in the male ward of RRIUM, Chennai. The laboratory investigations revealed severe hyperbilirubinemia, raised serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and negative HBsAg. On the basis of history, clinical observations and laboratory investigations, the patient was diagnosed as a case of 'yaraqān' (jaundice) which may be due to acute viral hepatitis. A Unani regimen comprising Ma'jun Dabid al-Ward (5 g twice a day), syrup Jigreen (10 ml twice a day), Araq-i-Mako (75 ml twice a day), Araq-iKasni (75 ml twice a day) for 25 days, Sharbat-i-Khaksi (10 ml twice a day for 7 days), and Habb-i-Tursh Mushtahi (1 g twice a day) for 15 days were given by oral route. The fever has subsided after 7 days and the appetite improved after 15 days of the treatment. The yellow discoloration of sclera and mucous membranes started to reduce gradually th from 7 day onwards. At the end of the treatment, the laboratory reports revealed that the total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT and ALP were within normal range. The core objective of this case report is to re-emphasize the effectiveness of Unani medicine particularly in the treatment of jaundice. Thus, this data may be helpful to increase awareness amongst the common people and scientific community for the popularity of Unani medicine in general and for the treatment of jaundice and liver disorders in particular.

Background: Oral diseases are one of the most serious public health issues and the most common chronic diseases afflicting humanity. Despite the abundance of new medicines and technologies for coping with them, an increasing number of patients are searching for simpler, milder therapies to improve their quality of life and minimize iatrogenic complications. Unani herbal regimens, diets, and medications, as described in Unani literature, have been shown to be safe and effective in maintaining oral health. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to look into and identify significant traditional Unani oral hygiene maintaining methods, as well as how they relate to today's oral hygiene preservation arsenal. Materials and Methods: Information regarding oral health-promoting practices was taken from published materials, ancient and modern recorded classical scripts, Unani pharmacopeias, and databases such as Pub Med, Web of Science,Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Results: Unani medicine has a huge description of various medical herbs with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, according to ancestral medicinal books and healers with the current scientific shreds of evidence. Several experimental researches has confirmed that these medicinal herbs have antibacterial, anti-infective, antimicrobial, and antiplaque properties, suggesting that they could be useful as a complementary treatment for periodontal diseases or as oral health promoters. However, there is still a scarcity of studies to back up their use and effectiveness. Conclusion: It is critical to scientifically demonstrate the underlying benefits of Unani medicine, as well as to elucidate and prove their potential therapeutic uses, for the sake of promoting oral health. We discovered papers that support or refute their traditional use and we conclude that medicinal plants use to treat oral conditions or add to the dental pharmacological arsenal should be relied on scientific investigations that confirm their suitability for orodental treatments
背景:口腔疾病是困扰人类最严重的公共卫生问题之一，也是最常见的慢性疾病。尽管有大量的新药物和新技术来应对这些疾病，但越来越多的患者正在寻找更简单、更温和的治疗方法来改善他们的生活质量，并尽量减少医源性并发症。乌纳尼文献中所描述的乌纳尼草药疗法、饮食和药物已被证明在维持口腔健康方面是安全有效的。研究目的:本研究的目的是研究和确定重要的传统乌纳尼口腔卫生维护方法，以及它们与今天的口腔卫生保存库的关系。材料和方法:有关口腔健康促进实践的信息取自出版资料、古今文献典籍、Unani药典以及Pub Med、Web of Science、Science Direct和谷歌Scholar等数据库。结果:根据祖传的医药书籍和目前科学证据的治疗师，乌纳尼医学对各种具有抗菌和抗菌特性的草药有大量的描述。几项实验研究证实，这些草药具有抗菌、抗感染、抗微生物和抗菌斑的特性，表明它们可以作为牙周病的补充治疗或作为口腔健康促进剂。然而，仍然缺乏研究来支持它们的使用和有效性。结论:为了促进口腔健康，科学论证乌纳尼药物的潜在益处，阐明和证明其潜在的治疗用途至关重要。我们发现了支持或反驳其传统用途的论文，我们得出结论，用于治疗口腔疾病或增加牙科药库的药用植物应该依赖于证实其适合口腔治疗的科学调查

Sailan-ur-reham(Leucorrhoea) is a common gynaecological disorder. Almost 20% of the patients attending gynaecological clinics complain of vaginal discharge indicating some form of infection. In 90% of cases the inflammation is usually relatively mild and the remaining 10% are more serious. Married women are at greater risk to suffer from leucorrhoea as these women are exposed to sexual activity and frequent child bearing which may lead to vaginal infections like –cervicitis, cervical erosion and pelvic inflammatory disease causing leucorrhoea. In literature of Unani Medicine discharge from uterus, cervix and vagina other than blood are described under the heading of sailan-ur-reham. Hence sailan-ur-reham may be compared to leucorrhoea in modern system of medicine. In Unani system of medicine, the basic causes of disease are related with the concept of Akhlat (humour) as described by Buqrat, (Hippocrates 360-470 B.C.). According to the theory of akhlat veginal discharge can be Damvi (Sanguine), Balghami (Phlagmatic), Saudawi (Malencholic) and Safrawi(choleric) depending upon the dominance of akhlat.
