Unani: The Science of Graeco-Arabic Medicine

This book takes the reader to the beginnings of medical science in ancient Greece and traces its subsequent journey into the 8th century Arab world and the birth of a new system called 'Unani' - based on the balance of the humours in the body. There is also an informative chapter on home remedies, which can be safely tried by readers - as Unani medicine prescribes drugs which originate in nature. (Roli)
