According to Unani medicine, Health is attributed to the equilibrium of akhlat (humours) in the body, according to their quality and quantity, while disease occurs due to disturbances in this equilibrium. Fasd is one of the methods of evacuation of morbid matter from the body for the preservation and restoration of health. Venesection is carried out when there is excess of blood in the body and patient is either at risk of developing a disease or has actually developed it. In present era it is known as phlebotomy. It has been a popular therapeutic practice since antiquity up to the late 19th century. In present paper, therapeutic applications of Fasd (venesection) in Unani medicine are discussed.
