📖About Regimental Therapy
Regimental therapy, known as Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer in Unani medicine, encompasses a range of physical and manual treatment techniques used to eliminate morbid substances from the body and restore the balance of bodily humours believed to underlie disease. Techniques within this category include cupping, venesection, massage, steam bath therapy, and purging, each selected based on the specific condition and the patient's constitutional type, or Mizaj. Unlike pharmacological treatment with herbal medicines, regimental therapy relies on physical and mechanical methods to detoxify and rebalance the body's systems. It is a core pillar of classical Unani medicine, often used alongside dietary regulation and herbal medication for a comprehensive treatment approach.
