Abstract

The Unani System of Medication is based on four therapeutic modalities namely, Regimental therapy, Dieto-therapy, Pharmacotherapy and Surgery. One of the most important and world wide practised methods of regimental therapy utilized for local evacuation of morbid humours is Irsale Alaq (Leech or Hirudo therapy). It is a procedure of treatment with the use of medicinal leeches which has been suggested and successfully practised by Greeko-Arab physicians since long in the management of various diseases such as musculoskeletal diseases, gynaecological disorders, chronic skin diseases, thromboembolic diseases, varicose veins, ENT disorders. Kashmir is a Muslim majority region and as per Islamic ruling leech therapy is permissible so any Halal treatment in Shariah perspective is accepted in Kashmir. In present study, we chose 100 respondents at random on their consent and with the help of self-developed questionnaire collected information on the topic understudy. The study revealed that Kashmiri people consider leech therapy a traditional /religious treatment and use leech therapy for treatment of many diseases such as to treat frost bite, Chronic skin ailment, sports/accident injuries, Musculoskeletal pain, Hypertension, Sinusitis, Osteoarthrites, Migraine. Majority of respondents recommend leech therapy for people for treatment of various common ailments in Kashmir as they believe its less costly, effective and traditional method of treatment of diseases like Frostbite, sports injuries, arthritis. Statistically, significant difference was observed between male and female respondents for treating various ailments using leech therapy (P<0.05). Further, statistically non significant difference between male and female respondents in leech therapy satisfaction level was observed (P>0.05). In Kashmir like in many Muslim countries a good number of people prefer leech therapy to cure many ailments because of its medical importance. Finally, group discussion with elders and leech healers revealed that one should consult an expert/Doctor before going for leech therapy and in case there is some side effect after leech therapy.

Abstract

Worldwide cupping therapy  is  used and in  Islam  term Al-hijamah (Hijamah) also called as  prophetic medicine  is used in place of cupping therapy. Holy Prophet Muhammad  (Peace be upon him ) said, the  best among your treatments is Al-hijamah (Hijamah) as it is a promising excretory treatment to clear blood of causative pathological substances. It is a three-step iron excretion technique (skin suction, scarification and suction) through pressure-dependent filtration then excretion via the skin dermal capillaries that significantly decreased serum iron overload and  accompanying oxidative stress by  exploitation of  physiological excretory mechanism. In current study, 200 patients (100 male and 100 female) from various Unani Hospitals of Kashmir were selected at random  for our study on their consent. The study revealed that majority of the respondents understudy were aware of the benefits of Hijamah and there was nonsignificant difference in general between male and female respondents (P>0.05). Hijama is used to treat diseases such as high blood pressure, lower back pain, shingles pain, facial paralysis, spinal disk wear and tear (cervical spondylosis),  cardiovascular disease prevention,  neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, headache, migraine, cellulitis, cough, cold, asthma, acne, urticaria,  neurodermatitis, soft tissue injury, arthritis. Practitioners apply the cups  to different parts of the body of an individual such as neck,back,  between the shoulders, behind the ear, chin, thighs, middle and crown of the head, ankle joints,  knee joints,  breast, buttocks, wrist joints, hips. Finally, researchers  gave the suggestions for the effective use of Hijamah.
