Unani medicine is a traditional system of medicine that originated in the Middle East. It is based on the teachings of Greek physician Hippocrates and Roman physician Galen, as well as contributions from Arabic physicians. The main concepts of Unani medicine include the humoral theory, temperament, and the idea that the body functions based on seven components. Mental well-being is seen as interconnected with physical and spiritual well-being. Stress can disturb this balance and cause mental health issues. Unani medicine aims to treat the whole person through lifestyle practices, herbal remedies, and spiritual counseling.
