Common Symptoms & Indications
Understanding Joint & Arthritis Disorders
Joint disorders — including gout, rheumatoid-type arthritis, and other inflammatory joint conditions — occur when Su-e-Mizaj (a disturbed temperament) allows morbid matter, referred to in classical Unani texts as Balgham and Sauda, to accumulate within the joint spaces. This leads to swelling, pain, restricted mobility and, if untreated, progressive joint damage.
Dr. Mohd. Zubair’s approach begins with a detailed Mizaj (temperament) assessment and Nabz (pulse) examination to identify the specific pattern of imbalance driving each patient’s joint disease, rather than treating every case of joint pain identically.
Our Unani Approach
Treatment is built around three pillars: Ilaj-bil-Dawa (pharmacotherapy using classical joint-specific formulations), Ilaj-bil-Ghiza (a therapeutic diet plan that reduces the production of morbid matter), and, where appropriate, Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer (regimenal therapies such as localized fomentation, Dalak/massage, and Hijama) to improve local circulation and accelerate the clearance of inflammatory waste from the joint.
What to Expect
Most patients begin to notice a reduction in morning stiffness and swelling within the first two to three weeks of a properly followed protocol. Chronic, long-standing cases are managed in structured phases spanning several months, with regular review to track joint mobility and pain scores.
