CONCEPT OF TANQIYA (READ HERE AS DETOXIFICATION OR DETOXICATION) IN UNANI SYSTEM OF MEDICINE WITH ITS SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION AND CORRELATION: SCIENTIFIC REVIEW – PART-I
Abstract
While going through Unani Medical Classical Literatures, it was found that the term, Tanqiya used to clean the body of a patient from disease by way of evacuation of morbid materials in the Unani (read here as free radicals in Modern Medical Scientific), carries the same responsibility and function what the Modern Biochemical Scientific term, Detoxification or Detoxication does so, in order to free the body of free radicals responsible for a particular disease. An attempt has been made to revisit the concept of tanqiya in Unani Medical Classical Literatures in term of detoxification or detoxication and to scientifically interpret and correlate the mechanism of tanqiya with that of detoxification or detoxication.
The interesting details have been presented in this scientific review paper
Keywords: concept; tanqiya; detoxification; detoxication; unani; scientific; literary; review.
