Abstract

Unani System of medicine stands to maintain the health and cure the disease with an emphasis on prevention is better than cure. The ancient Unani philosopher-physicians put forth the concept of “Tabi‘at” as the power endowed by nature to everyone to govern the task of survival. Tabi‘at is the Sayyad-ul-Quwa (supreme power) under which many other subsequent powers work. In general, Tabi‘at regulates all physiological functions in the body, broadly classified as (1) Nazim-e-Badan, (Regulation and organization of body functions), (2) Mudabbir-e-Badan (detoxification of the body), (3) Muhafize-e-Badan (Natural and Acquired immunity). This paper aims to explain the role of Tabi‘at with a special focus on its regulatory function, i.e., Tabi‘at as Nazim-e-Badan. Tawazun-e-Hararat (Thermoregulation) and Quwwat-e-Bah (Aphrodisiac power) are examples to elaborate the concept
