Cosmetology through Unani Perception: A Literature

Review

Humyra Tabasum*, Tanzeel Ahmed Department of Moalajat (Medicine), National Institute of Unani Medicine, Bangalore, India

Abstract Cosmetology, defined as study and application of beauty treatment, has been in practice

since antiquity. Natural products involved in cosmetic formulations are becoming

popular among the population owing to their safety and effectiveness. The present review focuses on cosmeceutical preparations described in Unani literature regarding hair, skin

and nails and is based on the literature from noted Unani texts, viz., Zakhira Sabit Ibn

Qurrah, Kitab al Mansoori, Ghina Muna, Kamil Al Sana, Alqanoon Fil Tib and Zakhira Khawarzam Shahi. Boundless literature is available in these texts for beautifying

treatment of hair, skin and nails by effective herbal and mineral-based formulations.

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic conditions and over half of the

patients with OA report being limited in their daily activities because of pain. Physical

activity and exercise reduce the pain, but do not relieve the cause. This study was done to emphasize the efficacy of leech therapy in the management of Waja-ul-Mafasil

(osteoarthritis) in the Department of Moalijat (General Medicine), Govt. Nizamia Tibbi College & Hospital, Hyderabad, during the period 2005–2008. The study consisted of 20

patients in each test and comparative group. Patients between 36 and 65 years of age

with the complaint of pain in both knee joints during movement and which is relieved by rest, difficulty in walking and in standing after prolonged sitting on the ground, persistent

osteoarthritic symptoms for at least 6 months were included in the study. Patients were given treatment, i.e., oral decoction of Unani herbs and local application of leech in test

group, whereas in comparative group oral and local Unani herbal formulation was given

for 4 weeks and follow-up done after one month. Intensity of pain was assessed by visual analogous scale (VAS) before and after trial. Results were assessed by using the student

‘t’ test and two groups were compared regarding pain relief by X2 test. The result of the

study showed a significant reduction in pain by both test (p < 0.05) and comparative

groups (p < 0.01). Local application of leech on osteoarthritis is significant in

comparison to local application of Unani herbal medicine.

Keywords: Osteoarthritis, leech therapy, Irsale Alaq, morbid humors and Unani

Management with Unani Herbal Medicine – A Review

Tabassum K1, Mohammad Nasar K

Abstract Obesity is a term used to describe body weight that is much greater than what is considered healthy and is a serious health problem. It affects 32.2% of the global

population mostly in high income groups. The adverse effects of obesity on women’s

health is overwhelming and is related to polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes and diabetes in turn puts women at dramatically increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and

risk of several major cancers. Overweight and obesity are associated with elevated

mortality from all causes in both men and women. Strategies involve general lifestyle modification which includes healthy diet, maintaining optimal weight, physical activity,

etc. Non-pharmacological therapy like diet and exercise may not be helpful to reduce weight satisfactorily and it also has its own limitations. Unani herbal medicine plays an

important role in the management of obesity. This review paper gives information on

herbs and their mechanism of action for weight reduction.

Keywords: Anti-obesity herbs, life style disorder, morbidity-mortality and weight

Abstract The Unani poly-herbal drug Lipotab tablet is therapeutically used for cardiac health.

There are no standard procedures available for evaluation of the constituents present in

any herbal products. Standardization and quality control of indigenous medicines will not only increase the benefit of the drugs but also translate into higher profits for the

industry. In the present study, the constituents of Lipotab tablet, i.e., turmeric (Curcumin)

and garlic (thiosulphinate allicin) has been evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively by spectroscopic and chromatographic (HPTLC) techniques. In Lipotab tablet, Curcumin

was estimated 83% w/w and thiosulphinate allicin 60% w/w.

A Critical Review on Concept of Aging in Unani Tib

Farkhunda Jabin* Department of Tahaffuzi wa Samaji Tib, Ayurvedic Unani Aligarh Medical College,

Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract With better advances in the field of medicine, life expectancy has increased in India. It is

expected to increase to 65 years in 2015, which means more burden on the existing health

care system of the country. Unfortunately, in our country elderly care is hospital-based with little attention on community-based, day care center-based or home-based care.

With rapidly changing scenario of aging population, we should find the right model for

long-term health care. Unani Tib with its unique individualistic approach and easy

remedies can provide complete cost-effective health care model for geriatric population.

Unani Tib advocates maintenance and protection of health in old age which starts from young age through adopting measures which protect and maintain innate heat and

moisture of the body. It is not a single procedure or method rather it is the diet, lifestyle

and way of living which should be adopted throughout their life to achieve the goal of healthy and active aging and add life to years not only years to life.

Abstract Tashannuji Usre Tams (spasmodic dysmenorrhea), which means painful menstruation, is

one of the major gynecological problems. It is a single commonest cause of the female

absenteeism from school, college and work places. The pain is spasmodic and occurs in lower abdomen, low back or in the thighs. This study was done to observe the prevalence

of risk factors of spasmodic dysmenorrhea. The study consisted of 180 unmarried girls between 12 and 26 years of age with the complaint of pain in lower abdomen during

menstruation. Intensity of pain was assessed by pre-structured and pre-tested schedule. A

detailed history regarding age of menarche, education, socioeconomic status, impact on lifestyle, etc., was taken. Assessment of the Mizaj (temperament) was made. The data was

recorded in CRF. It was observed that the disease was more prevalent in the age group of 17–21 years and in Damvi Mizaj patients and in patients of MIG and in patients of

beyond primary education. Those patients having family history of dysmenorrhea were

more prone to develop this disease.
