traditional healing system balancing four humors for health

Unani Medicine, also known as Unani Tibb or Greco-Arabic Medicine, is a traditional system of healing and health maintenance that originated in ancient Greece and was later developed and refined by Arab and Persian scholars. It is based on the principles of balancing the four humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) to maintain health and treat disease. Unani practitioners use a variety of natural remedies, dietary practices, and lifestyle modifications to restore and maintain health.
