Unani or Yunani medicine is the pseudoscientific practice used in Perso-Arabic traditional medicine in Mughal India and in Muslim culture in South Asia and modern day Central Asia. The term Yūnānī means "Greek", as the Perso-Arabic system of medicine was based on the teachings of the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen.
Arab and Persian elaborations upon the Greek system of medicine by figures like Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and al-Razi (Rhazes) influenced the early development of Unani.
The medical tradition of medieval Islam was introduced to India by the 13th century with the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate and it took its own course of development during the Mughal Empire, influenced by Indian medical teachings of Sushruta and Charaka. Alauddin Khalji (d. 1316) had several eminent physicians (Hakims) at his royal courts. This royal patronage led to the development of Unani in India, and also the creation of Unani literature.

Diagnosis and treatment
According to Unani medicine, management of any disease depends upon the
diagnosis of disease. Proper diagnosis depends upon observation of the
patient's symptoms and temperament.
Unani, like Ayurveda, is based on theory of the presence of the elements
in the human body. According to followers of Unani medicine, these
elements are present in fluids and their balance leads to health and
their imbalance leads to illness.
Treatment includes regimental therapy known as Ilaj-Bil-Tadbeer. These therapies include cupping, aromatherapy, bloodletting, bathing, exercise, and dalak (massaging the body). It may also involve the prescription of Unani drugs or surgery.
