The Unani system of medicine traces its roots to Mesopotamia, the Babylonian civilization, and ancient Egypt, dating back approximately 10,000 years. It underwent significant transformations in ancient Greece and various other regions. It evolved in Western Asia, and eventually found a stronghold in India, where it was preserved and significantly modernized. Now revitalized, Unani medicine is experiencing a resurgence in its place of origin while also expanding its influence in India and gaining recognition in Western countries. This renaissance is largely supported by the scholarly contributions from Indian experts, who are instrumental in the ongoing development and adaptation of the Unani system, ensuring its relevance and efficacy in contemporary medical practices. During the Arabic period, when the Unani system of medicine was overhauled, it was also commonly referred to as Arabic medicine or Islamic medicine.
