Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible progressive brain disorder which slowly affects memory and thinking skills and also the ability to carry out the simple tasks. Unani system of medicine has a history of clinical experience and rich traditional knowledge in the management of neuro-degenerative disorders. Unani Physicians, like Ali Ibn-e-Abbas Majusi (۹۳۰-۹۹۴ AD), in his book Kamilus sana; Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Zakariya Razi (۸۵۰-۹۲۵ AD), in Al Hawi; Sheikh-ur-Rais Ibn-e-Sina (۹۸۰-۱۰۳۷), in his book Al-Qanoon fit tib; Ibn-e-Hobal Baghdadi (۱۱۲۲-۱۲۱۳), in Kitab-al-Mukhtarat fit tib; Abul Hasan Ahmed bin Muhammad Tabri (۱۱th century), in Al Moalijat-e-Buqratiya; Azam Khan (۱۹th century), in his book Rumooz-e-Azam have described conditions called Fasad-e-Zikr and Nisyan which are characterized by the loss of memory, resembling Alzheimer’s disease. They have not only mentioned its etiology and pathogenesis but also designed a specific line of treatment. These references can be traced up till Buqrat (Hippocrates) ۳۷۷-۴۶۰ B.C. and Jaalinoos (Galen) ۱۳۰-۲۰۰ AD.
