Objectives: In Unani medicine the study of disease, known as Ilmul Amraz or Mahiyatul Amraz, holds a great importance as it lays the foundation for understanding the causes, development and ensuring accurate diagnosis. However, the literature on this subject is scattered across various manuscripts, necessitating collection and compilation of this valuable knowledge to deepen the understanding of disease frameworks within Unani medicine. The content in this article has been condensed from the original sources and is introduced in brief. Methods: The “input-processing-output” approach is used to carry out the planned literary research. The literature has been obtained from a variety of Reference books, Classical texts, academic works and digital formats. Conclusion: This review underscores the significant contributions of Unani physicians, presenting their original works, innovations, and practical experiences. The theoretical input of Unani physicians has played a key role in advancing the understanding of diseases and the processes behind...

This research demonstrates the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) following microwave digestion in the estimation of the quantity of iodine in pharmaceutical samples and herbal formulations. The samples were dissolved in 4 mL of a 2% Tetra-methyl-ammonium-hydroxide solution, and iodine was used as a reference standard. Collectively, the findings show that the method was linear with calibration curves ranging from 1 ppb to 100 ppb. The recoveries of the examined samples fell between 98 and 115%. The precision of repeatability for iodine concentration ranged from 2.11% to 2.85% for intermediate precision. The present method is robust according to the percentage of RSD of robustness test under various modified conditions. For herbal formulations and pharmaceutical samples, validated methods were proved to be applicable, sensitive, accurate, and...

Acalypha indica, an herbaceous plant indigenous to tropical areas, has been extensively utilized in traditional medicine for the treatment of various health issues. This review presents a thorough overview of its medicinal attributes, phytochemical composition, and pharmacological effects, emphasizing its promise in drug development. Extracts from this plant have shown notable anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, positioning it as a viable candidate for innovative therapeutic solutions. Historically, Acalypha indica has been employed in traditional practices for healing wounds, addressing respiratory ailments, and managing gastrointestinal disorders. Phytochemical investigations have revealed significant bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and anthraquinones, which play a role in its pharmacological properties. Preclinical research has assessed its effectiveness against bacterial and fungal infections, diseases related to oxidative stress, and cancer, yielding promising outcomes. However, obstacles such as the need for extract standardization, concerns regarding toxicity, and a scarcity of clinical studies impede its advancement. Future investigations should aim to clarify its mechanisms of action, refine dosage formulations, and conduct clinical trials to confirm...

Plants serve humans as primary sources for food, shelter, and medicines. So, understanding the plant’s uses in treating diseases is very important for leading a healthier life. Our ancestors have used various plants as medicines, and there is a need to provide scientific evidence for the same. Annona glabra is one of the plants natives to Florida in the United States, the Caribbean, and central and west Africa. It is an invasive species in Sri Lanka and Australia, and it is also distributed in India. It is commonly called pond apple, alligator apple, or bob wood. These plants contain mostly flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, steroids, acidic compounds, and anthraquinones. Not much scientific support was given to the folklore claims of the plant, and some of its traditional uses have been investigated, including anti-leishmanial activity, anti-microbial activity, anti-cancer activity, anti-inflammatory activity, burn-healing properties, larvicidal efficacy, wine production, and anti-oxidant activity. This article is a review of research done on the plant Annona glabra. As a part of it, the taxonomy,...

Kidney stones are also called as renal calculus or nephrolith. These are small, hard, deposits of mineral and acid salts on the inner lining of the kidney. Nephrolithiasis is characterized by the formation of renal calculus within the kidneys. When these stones leave the renal pelvis and travel into the remaining portions of the urinary system, which includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra, this condition is known as urolithiasis. Urolithiasis has become a serious global health problem and it is a common painful urologic condition that affects 12% of people worldwide. Nephrolithiasis is more common in men as compared to women and the recurrence rate in men (70-81%) is also higher than the females (47-60%). People of all ages are affected by urolithiasis but the age between 50 and 60 years was the peak age for the formation of calcium oxalate stones. Lauraceae is one of the most common and widely spread families. The plants of Lauraceae family are grown in tropical and warm climates. Some species of Lauraceae...
