8th March 2026
Today, MNSDA and Association of Maldivian Indigenous Medical Practitioners (AMIMP) officially signed an MoU to develop National Occupational Competency Standards in Maldivian indigenous medicine and related fields. This partnership marks a remarkable step forward in strengthening, professionalising, and preserving the tradition of Maldivian indigenous medicine.
With these standards in place, we move closer to structured training and formal certification for practitioners across the Maldives.
A proud moment for our cultural heritage and for all who work to keep Maldivian indigenous medicine alive and thriving.

If you’re feeling exhausted and sluggish, and even simple tasks feel overwhelming, you may be experiencing burnout.

Though burnout is often associated with job stress, it can also stem from — and affect — many areas of your life, as well as take a toll on your health. Burnout is often driven by long periods of stress without time to recover — but practicing self-care and creating work/life boundaries can help.

Not all foods affect your blood sugar the same way. 📉🍽️

Refined carbs and sugary foods like white bread, soda, pastries, and candy can cause sharp insulin spikes that leave you feeling hungry and tired soon after. On the other hand, foods rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber—like eggs, salmon, avocado, nuts, leafy greens, and Greek yogurt—help keep blood sugar more stable.

Choosing the right foods can support better energy, weight management, and overall metabolic health. Save this guide for smarter everyday choices!

Abstract-
Background
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology which is a game changer for various fields of discipline like medicine, biotechnology, material sciences, and environmental sciences. This is about controlling materials on a nanoscale, where at least one dimension is less than 100 nm (a nanometer). Such technology may lead to smart materials that can be used in construction and other fields.

Objective
To investigate the relationship between nanotechnology and Unani medicine, examining knowledge of nanoscale materials in classical Unani literature and their modern applications in nanomedicine.

Methods
This was done by a narrative review of classical Unani medical writings, and a comprehensive search of scientific databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science up to October 2023. The contributions of scholars including Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (Geber), Zakariyyā Rāzī (Rhazes), Shamsuddīn Undulusī and Ḥakīm Ajmal Khān are reviewed here, particularly their observations on the maximum particle size of a drug intended for medicinal purposes. For example, nanoparticle synthesis techniques such as photolysis, co-precipitation, sol-gel, electrochemical precipitation, and green chemistry were examined due to their implications regarding present nanotechnology.

Results
This study demonstrates that ancient Unani scholars had knowledge of therapeutic potential of metal-based nanoparticles specifically through the use of Kushta (calx) and Sayyāl (dissolved metals) in their medicinal formulations. Such practices are aligned with contemporary nanotechnological principles. The review further elaborates on current approaches of nanoparticles synthesis that mirror traditional Unani methods, especially in the regard of eco-friendly approaches including chemistry green.

Conclusion
This study provides an insight into nanotech being a part of Unani medicine far earlier than modern-day practices, with Kushtasāzī (calcination) and Sayyāl being potential forerunners to modern nanotechnology. However, the adoption of modern nanotechnological techniques into the well-established Unani system leads to tremendous innovation and establishes a link between ancient wisdom and recently developed advanced therapeutic approaches.
