Which Herbs and Remedies Are Used in Unani Treatment for Mental Health?
The Unani method of healing draws its inspiration from Greco-Arabic tradition and offers an integrative solution designed to harmonize body, mind, and spirit in harmony. Traditional systems of healing recognize that mental wellbeing is inextricably connected with both mental and physical wellness, including Unani medicine which uses theories of humor in its approach. Unani seeks to balance each body's four humors: blood (dam), Phlegm (balgham), Safra yellow/black Bile(sauda). Unani therapy offers treatments such as diet advice and herbal therapies alongside lifestyle modifications or massage or cupping as part of its mental wellness services for mental illness, such as Sauda deficiency. Unani also offers additional wellness services including cupping massage and cupping services as additional ways of alleviating mental distress.
