Role of Unani medicine in Hair fall



According to Tibb-e-Unani, hair fall is classified into two groups:
  • Primary hair fall
  • Secondary hair fall
 The primary being getting bald due to certain hereditary factors whereas, secondary baldness arises due to some fungal infection of the scalp (e.g. Tinea cruris)...

Nature has provided us with the excellent gift of hair, and certain simple formulations from Unani medicine are well equipped in preventing hair fall to some extent. But, before that, let us first get acquainted with some basic hair facts:
Dandruff, the most common hair menace seen today is affecting people across all age groups. It is a normal process to shed off dead skin cells as very small aggregates, which are normally too small to be seen. But, in the case of dandruff, however, the shedding of the dead cells from the scalp is in larger visible aggregates and also there is an excessive production of dead cells.
The color of the hair depends on the presence of pigment granules termed as ‘Sauda’ in Tibb-e-Unani. With age, there is a gradual dilution of pigment in the hair that causes graying. Nowadays, environmental factors and excessive stress also leads to a decrease of hair pigment, causing premature graying.
Graying of hair and rapid hair loss could be because of an improper diet, worry, stress or anxiety. Nourishment for hair doesn't come from the outside. It is provided by the bloodstream. So, if your intake of nutrients is insufficient, especially proteins and vitamins, it causes hair fall and graying.
 Did you know that stress and worry produce tension in the skin of your scalp, which also hampers the supply of nutrients to the hair? So always have a balanced diet to get the needed nourishment and try to be as relaxed as possible. Include lots of green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices in your diet. You can try meditation and aromatherapy to relax. Just mix a few drops of essential oils like tea tree, lavender, or sandalwood in the bath tub and soak in it for about 20 minutes.
There are many remedies you can try to control the graying of hair and also stop the hair loss. Curry leaves are very important in the treatment of both the problems. Consume lots of curry leaves in condiments or mix it in buttermilk. Adding fenugreek and yeast in buttermilk also helps a lot. Consuming one teaspoon of ginger and honey also delays graying.
 Exercising regularly also helps you stay younger in general. To prevent hair loss, mix warm coconut, castor and almond oil and massage into the hair for 20 minutes. Keep it overnight and wash off with a mild shampoo the next morning. 
Unani Tips for preventing Premature Graying of Hair
  • Crush a tablespoonful of pomegranate bark and mix it 250 ml of coconut oil and boil for 15 minutes. Massage the scalp with this oil about half an hour before bath, and then wash off. This oil prevents premature graying of the hair.
  • Crush a handful of Jamal gotta leaves (nutmeg or jaiphal, easily available at the raw drug stores), mix them in 250 ml of olive oil and boil for 20 minutes. Filter the oil and massage the scalp at night before going to bed with this Luke warm oil.
  • Mix a tablespoon of Brahmi leaves paste to a tablespoon of lemon juice and apply it to the scalp for half an hour before bath. This mixture provides good strength to the hair roots and also prevents premature graying.
  • A paste made of curd and sandalwood powder when applied to the scalp helps to cure any kind of fungal infection of the scalp. This paste should be kept applied on hair for 20 minutes.
There are certain oils (Roghaniyath) that can be used externally and certain semi solid preparations that can be used internally for improving hair growth and avoiding hair loss.

  12. Hair treatment oil is something that a large portion of us keep away from because of its oiliness. In any case, if the oil is made of herbs that are intended to profit the hair and does not have synthetic substances, it will nor be oily nor be sticky and overwhelming. This will leave the hair lovely, glossy and fun and you can say farewell to all your terrible hair days.

Stomatitis and Unani Treatment

Oral inflammation and ulcers, known as stomatitis, may be mild and localized or severe and widespread. They are invariably painful. Stomatitis may involve swelling and redness of the oral mucosa or discrete, painful ulcers (single or multiple). Less commonly, whitish lesions form, and, rarely, the mouth appears normal (burning mouth syndrome) despite significant symptoms. Symptoms hinder eating, sometimes leading to dehydration and malnutrition. Secondary infection occasionally occurs. Some conditions are recurrent. Stomatitis may be caused by local infection, systemic disease, a physical or chemical irritant, or an allergic reaction. many cases are idiopathic. Because the normal flow of saliva protects the mucosa against many insults, xerostomia predisposes the mouth to stomatitis of any cause. The  most common specific causes overall include Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS)—also called recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) Viral infections, particularly herpes simplex an

Chronic Bronchitis - Prevention and Cure Through Unani Medicine

  The bronchi are air passages connecting the windpipe (trachea) with the sacs of lungs (alveoli), where oxygen is taken up by blood. Bronchitis is an inflammation of bronchi causing excessive mucus production and swelling of the bronchial walls. Chronic bronchitis is the term applied when coughing and sputum continues for 2-3 months and returns each year for at least two years generally lasting slightly longer each time. According to the Unani system of medicine ‘ Sual ’ or cough is an act by which body tries to remove the irritating substances from organs (lungs). The act of cough is performed by contraction and relaxation of chest muscles and diaphragm. Sometimes chronic bronchitis is associated with airflow obstruction and may be associated with breathlessness. Causes According to Unani system of medicine, chronic bronchitis is caused due to accumulation of excessive phlegm in the respiratory system that causes irritation to the sacs of the lung thereby resulting in cough. The inc
