LET THE TREATMENTS
ALIGN TO YOUR NEED

It is not only about regimenal wellness practices but also about enjoying the simple pleasures of making yourself feel good with short rejuvenating routines.

Ever thought about covering yourself in leeches? The ancient practice is still around today, Leech therapy (Irsale Alaq) is a novel gift of Unani to the modern world. Modern medical science is now fully developed and most acceptable medical science across the world but still it is struggling in the management of various chronic disorders like chronic eczema, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, inflammatory reactions, acne vulgaris, varicose veins, rheumatic diseases, complicated wounds, boils and abscesses, etc.

Leech therapy (Irsale Alaq) is a safe and better alternative to manage such disorders. Medicinal leech therapy is used in a variety of inflammatory conditions. Its mode of action depends on the injection of leech saliva into patient’s tissues during the process of blood sucking. Leech saliva contains numerous bioactive constituents which possesses anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant and blood circulation enhancing properties. To prevent blood clots and dying tissue, leeches are applied to consume excess blood, and the anticoagulant hirudin in the leech’s saliva will reduce swelling and promote healing.

Yushfa believes that ALL good health starts with digestion; with the proper metabolism of food
Food is an essential element that binds the process of rejuvenation together

By Mrs. Razia Kammo, Managing Director

Did you know that, according to Unani System of Medicine, we metabolize with all five senses? We don’t metabolize just our food….everything we hear, touch, see, taste and smell becomes part of us, so choose wisely and live a healthier life.

Unani always prescribes wholesome food, for every human being to receive the full nourishment required for a healthy body, in synchronization with mind and soul. According to Unani no food is good or bad it just depends upon their constitution, react differently to different elements. The right food in proper combination, therefore, contains great therapeutic potential.

Unani Herbal dishes are always known for their exotic taste, aroma, texture and colors. Dozens of spices, including cardamom, cloves, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander and ginger enhance nutrition in the food, along with the taste! Uanani recommends only freshly cooked and natural food; there is no substitute for this if one seeks to live a healthy life. Meals should be timely, in prescribed quantities and made up of wholesome ingredients.

The water we consume should be warm and preferably boiled with herbs (Ajwain and Zeera); to enhance the nourishment and easy digestion of food, along with the right dietary habits. It also important to cultivate a lifestyle that includes regular physical exercise, as well as relaxation practices, such as self-massage with medicated oils. Unani lifestyle means a relaxed self-discipline in one’s approach to life, avoiding anything in excess.

Every principle of diet should be given close attention, in establishing the basis for a long, youthful life. The right environment in which to take meals is also an important consideration in Unani lifestyle theory. One should eat mindfully, with full attention on the food they are eating.

Food should be simple, fresh and easily digestable, containing lot of vegetable and natural spices. Taken in an environment of calm and meditation, diet can be an effective treatment therapy in itself
