Unani and Siddha medicine are traditional Indian healthcare systems with rich histories of promoting wellness and treating disease through natural remedies and holistic approaches. Unani medicine, influenced by Greek and Arabic knowledge, emphasizes balancing the body’s humors, while Siddha medicine, originating in South India, focuses on restoring harmony among the body, mind, and spirit using herbal, mineral, and dietary therapies.
This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the principles, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic interventions of both systems. Participants will learn about their applications in preventive care, chronic disease management, and integrative healthcare. Emphasis will also be placed on scientific validation, safety, standardization of remedies, and potential for global adoption. By bringing together practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, this session aims to foster dialogue on preserving these ancient traditions while advancing modern healthcare innovations.
