Unani medicine, also known as Unani Tibb, is a traditional system of medicine that originated from the teachings of Greek physicians such as [[hippocrates|Hippocrates]] and [[galen|Galen]]. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, Unani medicine has evolved to incorporate elements from Indian and Chinese traditional systems, making it a unique blend of ancient medical practices. Despite being considered pseudoscientific, Unani medicine remains a widely practiced system in South Asia and Central Asia, with over 25% of the population in countries like [[india|India]] and [[pakistan|Pakistan]] relying on it for primary healthcare. The term 'Unani' is derived from the Arabic word 'Yūnānī', meaning 'Greek', reflecting the significant influence of Greek medicine on this traditional system. With a strong emphasis on the humoral theory of diagnosis, Unani medicine has been criticized for its lack of scientific basis, yet it continues to be an integral part of the cultural heritage of the regions where it is practiced.
