Integrating unani principles in the management of multisystemic effects of Vitamin D deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency is a serious health issue that affects many different parts of the body such as the bones, immune system, nervous system, reproductive system, and endocrine system. This review talks about the various ways that a lack of vitamin D can affect the body and relates these effects to the ideas of Unani medicine about health, disease, and healing. In Unani medicine, the main goal is to keep people healthy by maintaining the balance of Tabiat, (which is like the body’s natural wisdom or immunity). When Tabiat works properly, a person stays healthy. But if this balance gets disturbed, it leads to illness. This imbalance often happens because of problems with the Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriya, which are six important factors: air, food and drink, sleep and wakefulness, activity and rest, mental state, and the process of holding in and letting go of things. Unani doctors believe in using natural treatments and lifestyle changes (Ilaj bil Tadbeer) to bring balance back to the body and improve health. Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science: Combining the knowledge from Unani medicine with modern medical science offers a new way to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency and its many health issues. Vitamin D is important for overall health [1]. When levels are low, it can badly affect both physical and mental health [2,3]. Traditional research on vitamin D mainly looked at its role in keeping the body healthy. But in recent years, as we found more vitamin D receptors all over the body, we have started to understand its role in preventing and treating long-term diseases. Lack of vitamin D is connected to many health problems, including brain decline, depression, weak bones, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, some types of cancer, aging, and lower fertility in both men and women.
