Abstract
In medicine, it is well known that healthy individuals have different physical and mental characteristics. Ancient Indian medicine, Ayurveda and the Persian-Arabic traditional Unani medicine has two distinct approaches for the classification of human subjects according to their temperaments. The individual temperament is an important foundation for personalized medicine, which can help in the prevention and treatment of many diseases including COVID-19. This paper attempts to explore the relationship of the utmost important concepts of these systems called individual temperament named as Prakruti in Ayurveda and Mizaj in Unani practice using mathematical modelling. The results of mathematical modelling can be adopted expediently for the development of algorithms that can be applied in medical informatics. For this, a significant literature review has been carried out. Based on the previous researchers' reviews the essential parameters have been identified for making the relationship and hypothesis were framed. The mathematical modelling was adopted to propose the existence of the relationship between the parameters of such an ancient and rich medicine systems. The hypotheses are validated through the mathematic driven model. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01258 Full Text: PDF
Highlights
Health can be defined as a state of physical and mental well-being
Ayurveda practices originated in ancient India, while Unani medical system originated in ancient Greece
The Present research is multi-disciplinary in method, where two different ancient medical systems are equated using mathematical approach, which can be used in development of Information system
Summary
Health can be defined as a state of physical and mental well-being. An individual remains in this state, until it is affected by certain internal or external factors. Along with the modern medical system, there exist alternative medical systems like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Tibb, Yoga, Naturopathy, Amchi, etc. Ayurveda and Unani Tibb are amongst very ancient practices. Ayurveda practices originated in ancient India, while Unani medical system originated in ancient Greece. Ayurveda is prevalent in India, and practiced countries like. Unani Tibbs is practiced mostly in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, etc. It is practiced in South Africa and United Kingdom. Most of the research and authentic texts of Ayurveda are in Sanskrit or Hindi while for Unani, it is in Arabic, Persian or Urdu. We have tried to compare and co-related one of important concept of these system called individual temperament, known as Prakruti/Prakriti in Ayurveda and Mizaj in Unani practice. This paper can contribute to the body of knowledge by acting as foundation stone in this step
