unani
Unani or Yunani medicine (Urdu: طب یونانی tibb yūnānī) is Perso-Arabic traditional medicine as practiced in Muslim culture in South Asia and modern day Central Asia. Unani medicine is pseudoscientific. The Indian Medical Association describes Unani practitioners who claim to practice medicine as quacks.The term Yūnānī means "Greek", as the Perso-Arabic system of medicine was based on the teachings of the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen.The Hellenistic origin of Unani medicine is still visible in its being based on the classical four humours: phlegm (balgham), blood (dam), yellow bile (ṣafrā) and black bile (saudā'), but it has also been influenced by Indian and Chinese traditional systems.

Unani
Unani-tibb or Unani Medicine also spelled Yunani Medicine is a form of traditional medicine practiced in middle-east & south-Asian countries. It refers to a tradition of Graeco-Arabic medicine, which is based on the teachings of Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen, and developed into an elaborate medical system in middle age era by Arabian and Persian physicians, such as Rhazes, Avicenna, Al-Zahrawi, and Ibn Nafis. Unani medicine is based on the concept of the four humours: Phlegm, Blood, Yellow bile and Black bile. The time of origin is thus dated at circa 1025 AD, when Avicenna wrote The Canon of Medicine in Persia. While he was primarily influenced by Greek and Islamic medicine, he was also influenced by the Indian medical teachings of Sushruta and Charaka. Unani medicine first arrived in India around 12th or 13th century with establishment of Delhi Sultanate and Islamic rule over North India and subsequently flourished under Mughal Empire. Alauddin Khilji had several eminent Unani physicians in his royal courts. In the coming years this royal patronage meant development of Unani practice in India, but also of Unani literature with the aid of Indian Ayurvedic physicians.
