Introduction :
Unani medicine as the name suggests, originated in greece or unan. It was the greek philosopher-physician Hippocrates (460-377BC) who freed medicine from the realm of superstition and magic and gave the status of science. The theorectical frame work of unani medicine is based on the teachings of Hippocrates. He believed that whenever and where ever possible medicine should be gentle and safe. This is the main objective of unani medicine. After Hippocrates, a number of Greek scholars enriched the system and it imbibed the best from contemporary system of medicine in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Persia, India, china and other Middle east and far East countries. Thats why the system is known in different parts of the world by different names, like Greco-Arab medicine, Ionian medicine, Arab or Islamic medicine, Oriental medicine and so on. Principle of Unani Medicine :

The fundamental principle of the unani system recognises that disease is a natural process and symptoms of a disease are body's reaction to disease. The chief function of the physician is to aid the natural forces of the body. The unani medicine is based on the Humoral theory-which presupposes the presence of four humors. They are Dum (blood), Balgham (phlegm), Safra (yellow bile) and Sauda ( black bile). The body has the power of self preservation to maintain a correct balance of these humors, which is called as Quwwat-e-Mudabbira (Medicatrix natura). Unani medicines help the body to regain this balance. The essential constituents and the working principles of the body, according to Unani, can be classified into seven main groups: arkan or elements, comprising earth, water, air and fire as different states of matter and the building blocks of everything in the universe; mizaj (temperament); akhlat (humours); aza (organs); arwah (life, spirits or vital breaths); quva (energy); and af'al (action). Each of the four elements has its own special qualities: earth is cold and dry; water is cold and moist; fire is hot and dry; air is hot and moist. The resultant quality of the uniform body is called its mizaj. The temperament of a substance may be a mizaj-e-mutadil (balanced one) or a mizaj-e-ghair-mutadil (imbalanced one). Different types and shades of imbalanced temperaments are described in Unani, which believes that at birth every person is endowed with a unique and healthy humoural constitution determining the temperament of an individual. Unani also postulates that the body contains a self-preservative power, which strives to restore any disturbance within the limits prescribed by the constitution or state of the individual. The physician merely aims to help and develop rather than supersede or impede the action of this power.

روزہ: روحانی سکون اور جسمانی صحت کا سنگم --

اسلام میں روزہ محض ایک مذہبی فریضہ نہیں بلکہ یہ روح کی پاکیزگی اور جسم کی مکمل زکوٰۃ ہے۔ جہاں ایک طرف یہ ہمیں تقویٰ اور صبر سکھاتا ہے، وہیں جدید طب اور یونانی میڈیسن کے مطابق یہ انسانی جسم کو زہریلے مادوں (Toxins) سے پاک کرنے کا ایک بہترین قدرتی ذریعہ ہے۔
لیکن روزے کے طبی فوائد اسی صورت میں حاصل ہوتے ہیں جب ہم افطار کے وقت اعتدال اور صحیح غذا کا انتخاب کریں۔ یونانی اصولِ صحت کی روشنی میں افطار کے لیے چند اہم ہدایات درج ذیل ہیں:
1۔ فوری توانائی کا ذریعہ: کھجور
افطار کا آغاز کھجور سے کرنا ایک بہترین سنت ہے۔ اس میں موجود قدرتی شکر اور فائبر جسم کو فوری توانائی فراہم کرتے ہیں اور دن بھر کی نقاہت کو دور کرتے ہیں۔
2۔ ہائیڈریشن کا صحیح طریقہ
سارا دن پیاسا رہنے کے بعد یکدم بہت زیادہ ٹھنڈا پانی پینا معدے اور جگر کے لیے نقصان دہ ہو سکتا ہے۔ افطار میں تازہ یا نیم گرم پانی کا استعمال کریں تاکہ نظامِ ہضم متاثر نہ ہو۔
3۔ تازہ پھل اور ہاضمہ
افطار میں پپیتا اور تربوز جیسے پھل شامل کرنا بے حد مفید ہے۔ پپیتا معدے کی اصلاح کرتا ہے اور تربوز جسم میں پانی کی کمی کو پورا کرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ گردوں کو بھی فائدہ پہنچاتا ہے۔
4۔ دہی کا استعمال
خالی پیٹ رہنے کی وجہ سے پیدا ہونے والی تیزابیت (Acidity) کو ختم کرنے کے لیے دہی ایک بہترین انتخاب ہے۔ یہ معدے کو ٹھنڈک پہنچاتا ہے اور ہاضمے کے عمل کو متوازن رکھتا ہے۔
5۔ پروٹین سے بھرپور غذا
چنے اور دالوں کا استعمال پٹھوں کی کمزوری کو روکتا ہے۔ یہ ایسی غذائیں ہیں جو آپ کو تراویح اور دیگر عبادات کے لیے چست و توانا رکھتی ہیں۔
حرفِ آخر
یاد رکھیں کہ افطار میں تلی ہوئی، زیادہ تیل والی اور مصالحہ دار چیزوں سے پرہیز لازمی ہے۔ ایسی غذائیں نہ صرف معدے میں جلن پیدا کرتی ہیں بلکہ آپ کی عبادات میں سستی کا سبب بھی بنتی ہیں۔ ایک معالج کے طور پر میرا مشورہ یہی ہے کہ سادگی اپنائیں اور صحت مند رہیں۔
