Abstract


The word "insomnia' originates from the Latin "in" (no) and "somnus" (sleep). It is a disorder characterized by inability to sleep or a total lack of sleep. According to Unani physician Hakeem Ibn Sina, Sehar (insomnia) can be defined as sleeplessness ‟or” awakening' which occurs mainly as a result of imbalance in the temperament of brain due to excess of yaboosat wa hararat and secondarily due to some other causes such as medical or mental disorders. Nutool is an ancient method, in which decoction of infusion of certain drugs or medicated oils even plain water are poured over specific site of the body at certain height in some specific diseases.
