From Humours to Metabolism: An Integrative Review of Obesity Management in Unani Medicine
Abstract: Unani Medicine, a traditional complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) system, adopts a holistic, temperament-based approach to disease prevention and management. In classical Unani literature, obesity is described as Simān-e-Mufriṭ, a pathological condition arising from humoral imbalance, particularly the predominance of phlegm (Balgham) and derangement of temperament (Su’-e-Mizāj), most commonly of a cold and moist nature. This condition is attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, weakened digestive and metabolic faculties, and excessive …
