Post #5 – Ilāj Bil Tadbīr: Healing Through Regimenal Therapies in Unani Medicine

Assalamu Alaikum dear readers,
In today’s post, we explore one of the most fascinating and practical branches of Unani medicine:

Ilāj bil Tadbīr – “Treatment through Regimen.”

This form of healing focuses on non-drug therapies that restore balance by regulating diet, sleep, physical activity, elimination, and the body's natural rhythms.

🌿 What is Ilāj Bil Tadbīr?

"Tadbīr" means planning or regimen in Arabic.
In Unani, it refers to therapies that help correct the imbalance of humors (Akhlaṭ) without medication — by guiding the body gently back to its natural state.

These therapies are based on:

  • Mizāj (Temperament)

  • Seasonal and lifestyle factors

  • Nature of illness

⚕️ 10 Popular Regimenal Therapies in Unani Medicine

Here are some well-known and widely used Ilāj bil Tadbīr practices:

  1. Hijāmah (Cupping) – Removes stagnant blood, improves circulation

  2. Fasd (Venesection) – Bloodletting for detoxification

  3. Dalk (Massage Therapy) – Relieves fatigue, improves circulation

  4. Hammām (Steam Bath) – Opens pores, relaxes muscles, cleanses body

  5. Riyāzat (Exercise) – Custom workouts based on Mizāj

  6. Ilāj bil Ghiza (Dietotherapy) – Healing through food correction

  7. Talim wa Tadbīr (Counseling & Lifestyle Adjustment) – Mental well-being

  8. Qai (Emesis) – Therapeutic vomiting to remove morbid materials

  9. Ishāl (Purgation) – Inducing stool to cleanse the digestive tract

  10. Nutritional Detox & Seasonal Regimens – To maintain balance year-round

💡 Why Are These Therapies Still Relevant?

Modern science increasingly recognizes:

  • The importance of gut health, detox, and lifestyle medicine

  • The role of non-drug, non-invasive therapies in chronic conditions

  • The impact of massage, heat therapy, and emotional balance on healing

Unani's Ilāj bil Tadbīr offers exactly that — personalized care, prevention, and rejuvenation.

🧘 When to Use These Therapies?

✅ During chronic illness recovery
✅ In lifestyle diseases like obesity, stress, indigestion
✅ For preventive health & seasonal cleansing
✅ As part of a balanced wellness plan (even without illness)

Always consult a qualified Hakim before using these methods.
