Abstract
Health is the key factor for the progress both at individual and community level, so the disease should be of the great concern at both the levels. Diabetes being the most known disease of this era and India is the diabetic capital of the world. Despite availability of various advanced form of management incidence of diabetes is still increasing day by day. One of its most serious complications is diabetic foot which results in well-known non-healing ulcer. Studies have shown the fact that the conventional management of the diabetes does not have a justifiable answer to decrease its burden from society. Therefore, researchers are looking for an alternative approach to tackle and cease the ever-increasing load of diabetes. Unani System of Medicine (USM) is one of the oldest and time proven methods to manage this kind of situation. It has entirely different and comprehensible concept of diabetes. According to the basic philosophy of USM the diabetes mellitus is the result of disturbance in quantity as well as quality of Akhlat (Humors) and Mizaj(Temperament) which leads to decrease in Hararat-e-Gariziya . This concept clearly describes diabetes, its pathogenesis, complications and holistic approach towards its management. Non-healing ulcer, in conventional medicine, is entirely manageable in USM. Hence the objective of this comprehensive review is to explain the Unani Approach in the management of ZiabetusShakri (Diabetes Mellitus) and its complications.
