ABSTRACT
This study explores the rich heritage of Unani Medicine, an ancient holistic healing system originating from Greco-Arabic traditions, and investigates its potential strategies for promoting anti-aging and longevity. Unani Medicine, deeply rooted in the principles of balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit, offers a unique perspective on healthcare that integrates traditional wisdom with contemporary understanding. The research delves into the core principles of Unani Medicine, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance of the four humors (dam, balgham, safra, and sauda) and the six essential factors (air, food & water, sleep, movement, emotions, and excretion). Understanding the interconnectedness of these elements, Unani Medicine aims to restore equilibrium to the body, preventing premature aging and promoting overall well-being. Furthermore, the study reviews specific Unani herbs, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle practices recognized for their potential anti-aging effects. It examines the scientific basis behind these traditional remedies, shedding light on their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating properties. By bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, this research aims to provide insights into the holistic approaches of Unani Medicine that may contribute to the development of effective strategies for anti-aging and longevity. The findings of this study may pave the way for integrative healthcare solutions that combine traditional knowledge with contemporary advancements, offering a comprehensive approach to enhancing the quality and duration of human life.
