Book excerpt: In 'Unani Medicine in the Making', Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth examines the contemporary institutions and practices of Graeco-Islamic healing in India. Drawing on interviews with practitioners, clinical observations, and Urdu sources, the book focuses on Unani's multiplicity, scrutinizing apparent tensions between the understanding of Unani as a system of medicine and its multiple enactments as Islamic medicine, medical science, or alternative medicine. Ethnographic details provide vivid descriptions of the current practices of Unani in India and invite readers to rethink the idea that humoral medicine is incommensurable with modern science. Ultimately, the book also discusses the relationship of Unani with Muslim communities, examining the growing practice of Prophetic Medicine in Urban India and the increasing representation of Unani as Islamic Medicine.

Book Synopsis Anticancer Plants: Clinical Trials and Nanotechnology by : Mohd Sayeed Akhtar
Download or read book Anticancer Plants: Clinical Trials and Nanotechnology written by Mohd Sayeed Akhtar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in human beings. Though several synthetic medicines are used to treat cancer, they are largely inefficient and unsafe. In contrast, plants, which have been used for medicinal purposes since time immemorial, have proved to be useful in fighting cancer, with natural compounds from plants and their derivatives offering safe and effective treatment and management for several types of cancer. Plants such as Catharanthus roseus, Podophyllum peltatum, Taxus brevifolia, Camptotheca acuminate, Andrographis paniculata, Crateva nurvala, Croton tonkinensis, Oplopanax horridus etc., are important source of chemotherapeutic compounds. These plants have proven their value in the treatment of cancer and various other infectious diseases, and several common anticancer compounds such as taxol, podophyllotoxins, camptothecin, vinblastine, vincristine, homoharringtonine etc. have been isolated and purified from these medicinal plants. Unfortunately, many of these anticancer plants have become endangered due to ruthless and irresponsible harvesting practices. Hence, there is a need to conserve these species and to propagate them on a large scale using plant tissue culture. Alternatively, plant cell tissue and organ culture biotechnology could be adopted to produce these anticancer compounds without the need for cultivation. A better grasp and continuing exploration of these isolated molecules and products could provide a powerful alternative means of reducing cancer risk. “Anticancer Plants: Volume 3, Clinical Trials and Nanotechnology” provides a timely review of concepts and experimental data on the application of anticancer plants and their compounds in clinical trials, and on the use of nanotechnology in cancer therapy.
Book Synopsis Medical Marginality in South Asia by : David Hardiman
Download or read book Medical Marginality in South Asia written by David Hardiman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the world of popular healing in South Asia, this book looks at the way that it is marginalised by the state and medical establishment while at the same time being very important in the everyday lives of the poor. It describes and analyses a world of ‘subaltern therapeutics’ that both interacts with and resists state-sanctioned and elite forms of medical practice. The relationship is seen as both a historical as well as ongoing one. Focusing on those who exist and practice in the shadow of statist medicine, the book discusses the many ways in which they try to heal a range of maladies, and how they experience their marginality. The contributors also provide a history of such therapeutics, in the process challenging the widespread belief that such ‘traditional’ therapeutics are relatively static and unchanging. In focusing on these problems of transition, they open up one of the central concerns of subaltern historiography. This is an important contribution to the history of medicine and society, and subaltern and South Asian studies.

Book excerpt: Nature has blessed India with a vast variety of herbal and medicinal plants and shrubs that grows in different climatic regions from the frozen Himalayas in the north to the tropical forests in the south. From times this immemorial rich beauty has been used in preparing herbal medicine to cure various disease and to promote a great repository of this knowledge, organized in the from of unani and ayurvedic herbal systems of medicine.The system has a mass following and word wide acceptability.UNANI was derived from the word IONIAN which indicates it origin to Greece TIBB means medicine. Unani system of medicine is a synthesis of Greek and Arabs system. Unani physicians were the first to classify the disease on the basis of different anatomical and physiological symptoms of the body. Hippocrate (460-377BC) who firstly postulated the concept of disease is due to the imbalance of humors and hence emphasized on natural knowledge and hence freed Medicine from the realm of superstition and magic, and gave it the status of science. Arab physicians introduced unani pathy in India which took firms root in the soil soon. Unani pathy had its days in India during 13th and 17th century's .soon it spread all over the country and remained popular among the masses, even after the downfall of Mughal Empire. It got a set back during British rule but still remained in practice as it enjoyed the faith of masses. The unani pathy survived during British rule due to the efforts of the sharifi family in delhi.the Azizi family of Lucknow and the Nizams of Hyderabad. Hakim ajmal khan (1868-1927) from sharifi family was an outstanding physicians and scholar of unani medicine kept the tempo high. Unani medicine, as is well known, based on the Hippocratic humoral theory. This theory supposes the presence of four humuors in the body viz: blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. The mizaj of individuals are expressed by word damawi (sanguine), balghami (phlegmatic), safrawi (choleric) and saudawi (melancholic) according to the dominancy of the humour. Every person is supposed to have a unique humoral constitution which represents his healthy state and any change in this state causes illness of the said person. The severity of the disease depends directly upon the change in equilibrium from mizaj. There are three major quwa (faculties) which regulate human body viz. Quwwate nafsania (psychic faculties), Quwwate haivania (vital faculties) and Quwwate tabiyya (physical faculties). These quwa (faculties) are specific for a particular tissue or organ on which the specific functions of that organ depend. Quwwate tabiyya is concerned with taghzia (nutrition), namu (growth) and tawleed (reproduction) and jigar is considered uzwe raees (epicenter) of this quwwat. Quwwate haivaniya is concerned with tadbeer of rooh, which brings life to the part it supplies. Qalb is uzwe raees of this faculty. Quwwat nafsania is concerned with intellect, sensory and motor functions and dimagh (brain) is supposed to be seat of this faculty.

Book Synopsis Research Methodology in the Unani Medical Sciences by : Nazim Husain
Download or read book Research Methodology in the Unani Medical Sciences written by Nazim Husain and published by Notion Press, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India, 2021. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good knowledge of research methodology is extremely important to conduct a scientifically sound research, and a valid research is essential for the development of every science, so does AYUSH systems of medicine. The movement of research in Medicine dates back to the times of its origin, when Greek Physician-Philosopher Hippocrates freed Medicine from superstitions, and presented it in the initial scientific form. Thereafter, the Roman Philosopher Galen stabilized the foundations of Hippocratic medical thoughts, on which the Arab and Iranian physicians like Rāzī and Ibn Sīnā, built an edifice and developed the system to great heights. Ibn Sīnā laid down guidelines for clinical testing of drugs as early as in 11th Century. The scientific research in AYUSH Systems of Medicine was given a boost in India by a versatile genius, Masīḥ al-Mulk Ḥakīm Ajmal Khān, in the 1920s. He spotted Dr. Salīm al-Zamān Ṣiddīqī, a chemist, for undertaking chemical studies on some important medicinal plants, used in Unani System of Medicine. The present scenario of the AYUSH systems of medicine and its contribution to healthcare is very important to date. There are several areas, where traditional medicines are independently able to manage the diseases, such as skin diseases, liver diseases, GIT disorders, etc., but scientific data of these claims are lacking. So, it is the need of the hour to explore and evaluate the AYUSH systems of medicine on internationally acceptable scientific parameters. For the purpose, a number of books are available in the market, but it is a very tough task for the newbies to understand the basics of research from these high-level books. This book is written in simple and palatable language, especially for the PG Scholars and AYUSH Researchers, who face difficulty in understanding the subject. The book deals with research and its types, research problem, hypotheses, research designs, and data collection, etc. with updated guidelines. We hope that the purpose of writing this book would be fulfilled and the Postgraduate Scholars, as well as other researchers, will find this book helpful in understanding the basics of Research Methodology.
