The following services are being catered under this facility:
Body Purifying or Detoxification Therapy
      The Unani medicine is fundamentally based on the Hippocratic doctrine of four humours, i.e. dam (blood), bhalgham (phlegm), safrā’ (yellow bile), and sawdā’ (black bile). The health of an individual depends on the equilibrium of these humours, whereas an imbalance in the equilibrium of such humours causes disease conditions. Hence, the dominant morbid humours or diseased substances are evacuated from the body by applying different regimenal procedures or by administering Unani drugs. This therapy is useful in the treatment of several ailments like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, sciatica, spondylosis, backache, paralysis, psychiatric diseases, insomnia, chronic headache, hypertension, etc.
Rejuvenation Therapy
      At present, most of the diseases are due to sedentary lifestyles and weak immune system. The institute offers body Rejuvenation therapy by applying different Unani preventive and treatment modalities in cases of mental stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, dementia, diabetes mellitus, weakness of the immune system, weakness of vital organs of the body, etc.
Skin, Hair, and Beauty Care
      Healthy skin is a reflection of the overall health of an individual. When all the systems of the body are properly functioning, the skin also gets good nutrition. In today’s world, mental stress, work load, pollution, dust, unhealthy food, and a bad lifestyle are responsible for several skin problems. The preventive and treatment modalities used in the Unani system are useful in the management of many skin diseases.
