Natural Relief for Chronic Joint Pain: The Unani Path (Waja ul Mafasil)
Tired of temporary fixes for chronic joint pain or arthritis? Discover Unani Medicine, an ancient science offering natural pain management and a path to restoring your mobility. In Unani, this condition is known as Waja ul Mafasil.
We don't just treat symptoms - we treat the root cause by restoring your body's natural balance (Mizaj). Here is how a Unani clinic can help you find lasting relief:
What is Waja ul Mafasil? (The Unani Perspective)
Waja ul Mafasil simply means "pain of the joints." However, Unani physicians (Hukama) analyze it through the lens of Mizaj (Temperament).
The primary cause is often attributed to an imbalance, specifically the accumulation of cold and moist humors (Balgham) in the joints. This excess coldness is believed to restrict movement, cause stiffness, and lead to inflammation and pain.
The 3 Pillars of Unani Treatment
Unani medicine approaches holistic pain management using three core methods to expel the harmful humors and restore natural warmth and function:
1. Ilaj bil Ghiza (Dietotherapy)
Diet is foundational. The focus is on incorporating foods that balance the cold, moist temperament.
Encouraged: Warming, digestive foods like garlic, ginger, turmeric, and dried fruits (like dates).
Discouraged: Cold, heavy, or mucus-forming foods, such as certain dairy products, excessive rice, or very sour items, which can worsen Balgham accumulation.
2. Ilaj bil Tadbir (Regimental Therapy)
These are physical regimens designed to detoxify and improve circulation:
Dalk (Massage): Specific oil massages using warming oils to increase blood flow and loosen stiff joints.
Hammam (Turkish Bath/Fomentation): Applying heat and steam to promote sweating, helping to expel morbid matter and ease muscular spasms.
Cupping (Hijama): In certain chronic cases, this therapy may be used to drain local congestion or morbid humors near the painful area.
3. Ilaj bil Dawa (Pharmacotherapy)
Medicines (derived from herbs, minerals, or animal sources) are prescribed to address the root cause:
Warming & Analgesic Herbs: Medicines containing ingredients like Suranjan, Satawar, and various classical compound formulations are used to reduce inflammation and warm the joints.
Detoxification: Used strategically to expel the accumulated Balgham and toxic matter from the body systemically.
