Tabiat and homeostasis: Exploring the self-healing concept of Unani medicine through the lens of modern physiology
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper examines the traditional Unani concept of Tabiat (vital force)—the intrinsic self-healing capacity of the human body—and compares it with the modern physiological framework of homeostasis and autonomic regulation. It aims to bridge traditional and scientific perspectives on the body's internal harmony, regulatory mechanisms, and innate healing capabilities, offering insights for integrative medicine.
