Every treatment plan is personal. Below is an overview of conditions we frequently see and how the Unani approach may help.
Conditions we care for
These descriptions are general information only. Your plan will depend on a personal consultation, and results vary between individuals.
Joint Pain & Arthritis
Knee pain
Back pain
Osteoarthritis
Gout
Aching, stiff or swollen joints can make daily life difficult, especially with age, weight gain or a sedentary routine.
The Unani approachUnani views many joint complaints as linked to an accumulation of morbid humours (often Balgham). Care may include herbal medicines, medicated oil Dalak, fomentation, Hijama and diet changes to reduce inflammatory foods.
Chronic skin conditions can be uncomfortable and affect confidence. They often flare with stress, diet and seasonal change.
The Unani approachThe focus is on purifying the blood (Musaffi-e-Dam) and correcting digestion, along with gentle topical herbal applications and a diet suited to your temperament. Skin conditions usually need patience and regular follow-up.
Indigestion, acidity and irregular bowels are among the most common complaints of modern life.
The Unani approachUnani physicians consider strong digestion (Hazm) the foundation of health. We use digestive herbal formulations, meal timing, food combinations and lifestyle advice to help restore comfortable digestion.
Piles and fissures can cause pain, itching and bleeding — and many people delay seeking help out of embarrassment.
The Unani approachCare is private and respectful. Treatment focuses on softening stools, reducing inflammation with oral and local herbal preparations, and diet with adequate fibre and fluids. Heavy bleeding or severe pain needs prompt medical evaluation.
Hair fall may be linked to stress, nutrition, hormones, illness or scalp conditions.
The Unani approachWe look for internal causes as well as scalp health, using herbal oils, internal formulations and nutritional guidance. Blood tests may be advised to rule out deficiencies or thyroid issues.
Persistent tiredness, low energy or concerns about sexual health are common and nothing to feel ashamed about.
The Unani approachIn complete confidence, the Hakeem assesses sleep, diet, stress and general health. Unani tonics (Muqawwiyat), dietary support and regimen advice may be suggested. Underlying conditions such as anaemia, diabetes or thyroid disorders should be checked.
Hormonal and menstrual concerns affect many women and can influence mood, skin, weight and fertility.
The Unani approachUnani care for women combines herbal formulations, diet, weight management and Riyazat to support regular cycles and overall wellbeing. We encourage continued follow-up with your gynaecologist, especially for fertility or pregnancy-related concerns.
Lifestyle disorders need long-term management and regular monitoring.
The Unani approachUnani offers complementary support through diet therapy, exercise, weight management and selected herbal formulations. Please continue your prescribed medicines and monitor sugar and BP regularly — any change in medication must be decided by your treating doctor.
Kidney stones can cause intense pain and urinary symptoms, and often recur.
The Unani approachUnani has a long tradition of herbal diuretic and lithontriptic (Mufattit-e-Hasat) formulations, together with fluid and diet guidance to help reduce recurrence. Stone size and position should be confirmed by ultrasound; large stones, fever or blocked urine need urgent medical care.
Recurring colds, sneezing, sinus congestion and cough can linger through the seasons.
The Unani approachTreatment aims to strengthen immunity and balance excess Balgham through herbal formulations, steam and diet advice. Asthma or breathlessness must continue to be managed with your prescribed inhalers and medical supervision.
Healthy weight supports the joints, heart, hormones and energy levels.
The Unani approachWe create a realistic plan based on your Mizaj: diet therapy, Riyazat (exercise), sleep and routine, with herbal support where suitable. Sustainable, gradual change is the goal — not crash dieting.
Frequent headaches can disrupt work, study and family life.
The Unani approachUnani care looks at triggers such as digestion, sleep, stress and diet, and may include herbal formulations, Dalak of the head and neck, and Hijama in suitable cases. Sudden, severe or unusual headaches should be checked by a doctor straight away.
Detailed history, pulse (Nabz) examination and understanding your temperament. Bring any previous reports and prescriptions.

A responsible note
Unani medicine is a complementary, traditional system. It is not a substitute for emergency care or for treatment your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop any medicine without consulting the doctor who prescribed it.
Seek urgent medical help for chest pain, breathlessness, heavy bleeding, high fever, sudden severe headache, or any symptom that worries you.
