Respiratory & ENT Care

Natural immunomodulatory treatment for asthma, sinusitis, and chronic respiratory conditions.

Unani respiratory medicine (Ilaj-e-Amraz-e-Riya) treats asthma, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and chronic respiratory conditions by restoring the balance of phlegmatic humors (Balgham) and strengthening the innate lung capacity known as Quwwat-e-Riya. At Al Hashmi Health Centre, our approach centres on immunomodulation through herbal compounds that recalibrate the immune response, reduce airway hypersensitivity, and eliminate the accumulation of morbid phlegm that drives chronic congestion and bronchospasm. We employ classical Unani formulations like Laooq-e-Sapistan for bronchial relief, steam inhalation with medicinal herbs, and Hijama therapy for chest congestion, complemented by dietary protocols that eliminate mucus-forming foods and strengthen the body's natural respiratory defenses.

Our Treatment Approach

Immunomodulatory herbal compounds including Laooq-e-Sapistan, Sharbat-e-Unnab, and Habb-e-Surfa to reduce bronchial inflammation, modulate immune hypersensitivity, and prevent recurrent respiratory episodes

Therapeutic steam inhalation (Bukhoor) with Unani medicinal herbs such as Ajowan, Pudina, and Eucalyptus to open congested airways, drain sinus cavities, and provide immediate symptomatic relief

Hijama (cupping therapy) applied on the upper back and interscapular region to relieve chest congestion, improve pulmonary circulation, and facilitate expectoration of thick, stagnant phlegm

Dietary elimination of mucus-forming foods (cold, dairy-heavy, and processed items) combined with warming foods (Haar Ghiza) and herbal decoctions to strengthen the lungs and reduce phlegm production

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Unani treat asthma without inhalers?

Unani medicine offers a highly effective approach to asthma management that can significantly reduce or, in many cases, eliminate the need for inhalers. Our treatment addresses the root cause of asthma, which Unani pathology identifies as Balgham (phlegmatic) accumulation in the bronchial passages combined with immune hypersensitivity. Through a combination of bronchodilatory herbal formulations (Laooq-e-Sapistan, Habb-e-Surfa), immunomodulatory medicines, and dietary modifications that reduce mucus production, many patients achieve excellent asthma control. Mild to moderate asthma patients frequently become inhaler-free within 3-4 months, while severe cases experience a marked reduction in attack frequency and can lower their dependence on rescue inhalers under medical supervision.

How effective is treatment for chronic sinusitis?

Chronic sinusitis is one of the conditions most responsive to Unani treatment, as it directly results from the accumulation of morbid Balgham (phlegm) in the sinus cavities, a condition Unani medicine has treated for centuries. Our protocol combines Munzij (maturative) medicines to ripen the thick, stagnant mucus, followed by Mushil (evacuative) therapy to drain it, along with nasal applications of medicated oils (Saaoot) and steam inhalation to clear the sinus passages. Most patients with chronic sinusitis experience significant relief from headaches, nasal congestion, and post-nasal drip within 4-6 weeks. The treatment also strengthens sinus immunity to prevent recurrence, addressing the condition at a level that antibiotics and nasal sprays cannot reach.

Is there a natural cure for allergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis results from immune hypersensitivity, which Unani medicine attributes to an imbalance in the body's Tabiyat (healing power) and excess of cold-moist humor. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms with antihistamines, our treatment strengthens the body's immune regulation through herbal immunomodulators, detoxifies the system through Munzij-Mushil therapy, and corrects the underlying temperamental imbalance that makes the body overreact to allergens. Patients undergo a comprehensive protocol including oral herbal medicines, nasal applications, and dietary corrections that eliminate common triggers. Most patients experience 70-90% reduction in symptoms within 2-3 months, with many achieving complete freedom from seasonal allergies after a full course of treatment.
