The Unani system of Medicine started in Greece and was
developed by Arabs into an elaborate medical science based
on the frame work of the teaching of Hippocrates (460-370 BC)
and Galen(131-210 AD). Since that time Unani medicine has
been known as Greco-Arab Medicine. After Hippocrates (460-
370 BC) Roman, Arab and Persian scholars enriched the
system considerably, of whom Galen stabilized the
foundations on which Arab physicians like Razi (850-925 AD)
and Ibn Sina (980-1037 AD) constructed an imposing edice.
It was introduced in India by the Mughals and soon it took rm
roots on Indian soil. The system found immediate favour from
[1] the masses and soon spread all over the country . Over the
centuries, this system has assimilated so well in the Indian
civilization that today it has become an integral part of the
healthcare delivery system of India.
