| Introduction | Since time immemorial, man has been consistently pondering over the secrets of his Universe, particularly the primary and principal source for the creation of all things including man. The fathers of Unani medicine have acquired all knowledge about the matter and its constituents from the Greek philosophers. It was believed in Greece that the whole universe has been created by gods and goddesses. But in the sixth century b.c. this idea was challenged by a group of philosophers. They did not refute this idea openly but forwarded quite a different view about the creation of the universe, i.e., creation of the universe by nature (matter) itself. But before explaining the concept of matter in Unani medicine, I think it necessary to define matter as propounded by Greek and Arab physicians/philosophers. |
