Ancient Unani System of Medicine refers to Graeco-Arabic medicine (Greek + Arab), which is based on the teachings of Greek physician Hippocrates ( Boqrat 460-377 BC) and Roman physician Claudius Galenus (Jalinoos 129 -210 AD) and developed into an elaborate medical system in principal age era by Arabian and Persian physicians, such as Rhazes (Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi), Avicenna ( Abu Ali al Husyan ibn Addillah ibn al Hasan Ibn Ali bin sina ), Al-Zahrawi (Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas al-Zahrawi ), and Ibn Nafis(Ala-al-Din abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Abi-Hazm al-Qarshi al-Dimashqi,), Buqrat, is said to be a Founder and pioneer of ‘father of Unani medicine'. This is the popular form of traditional medicine widely practiced in all Asian Countries and draws on the ancient traditional systems of medicine of China, Egypt, India, Iraq, Iran (Persia) and Syria (Sham). It originated in ancient Greek almost 2700 years back and has been using drugs of approximately 90% herbal medicine obtained from natural sources, 4-5% animal (Pet and wild) and 5-6 % mineral origin. It is not only the original science of medicine but also a rich store house of rules, principles and philosophies of general medicine which can be of immense value to the medicine in particular and science in general. Diseases (communicable and non-communicable) and illnesses are considered to upset the normal temperament by pyrogen and homeostasis of the humors in the body. So severe treatment or pharmacotherapy have been used since ancient times as per the sole concept to bring back the homeostasis of the humors and to correct the abnormal temperament involved. Once these modes of treatment proved unsuccessful, surgery has been advised as a last choice.
