The Rise and Fall of Herbal Medicine – And Its Return
Explore the journey of herbal medicine from ancient roots to modern neglect—and how Unani and Tib-e-Nabawi remedies are making a powerful comeback.
From Golden Wisdom to Forgotten Cure: The Herbal Medicine Story
Herbal medicine has been the cornerstone of healing for over 5,000 years. From ancient China to the Arab world, nature provided solutions for almost every ailment. The Islamic Golden Age, particularly from the 8th to the 14th century, was marked by scholars like Ibn Sina (Avicenna), whose “Canon of Medicine” became a medical reference in Europe for centuries.
The Decline: Modernization and Westernization
The Industrial Revolution ushered in synthetic chemistry, enabling the mass production of chemical drugs. Coupled with colonial influence in South Asia, traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda, Unani, and Chinese medicine were labeled as “unscientific.”
Fast-acting chemical drugs replaced natural remedies, but they often came with side effects, limited root-cause treatment, and long-term dependency.
The Revival: A Global Shift Toward Natural Health
- Today, patients are better informed. Growing awareness of adverse drug reactions, antibiotic resistance, and chronic disease management failures has reignited interest in:
- Unani and prophetic medicine
- Plant-based, food-derived treatments
- Holistic, body-mind-spirit approaches
