Origins & tradition

A tradition rooted in Greco-Arab scholarship

The Canon of Medicine established principles of whole-person assessment that remain the foundation of Unani Tibb practice today, examining diet, temperament, environment, and lifestyle as interconnected factors in health.

Ibn Sina (Avicenna) · Canon of Medicine, 1025 CE

Unani Tibb, meaning "Greek medicine" in Arabic, draws on a healing tradition stretching back over 3,000 years, refined by Hippocrates and codified by Ibn Sina (Avicenna) in his Canon of Medicine, written in 1025 CE. It remains one of the world's oldest continuously practised medical systems, recognised by the World Health Organisation as a traditional medicine system.

The system is built on the concept of four temperaments and four humours, a framework for understanding how individual constitution, diet, and environment interact to produce health or illness. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Unani Tibb seeks to restore balance across the whole person.

How it differs

vs. Conventional medicine

Conventional medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating named conditions. Unani Tibb assesses constitution, lifestyle, and environment to understand why the condition arose, and addresses those root factors.

vs. Ayurveda

Both systems share ancient roots and a whole-person philosophy. Unani Tibb is specifically rooted in the Greco-Arab scholarly tradition, Ibn Sina, Hippocrates, and the humoral framework, rather than the Sanskrit Vedic tradition of Ayurveda.

What's involved

I had been told my blood results were normal but I still felt exhausted and unwell. The consultation gave me a completely different framework for understanding what was happening. Within six weeks of following the plan, I felt significantly better.

It examines the relationship between diet, temperament, lifestyle, and environment to understand and address the root causes of illness rather than managing symptoms alone.

Where does Unani Tibb come from?
