Anxiety disorders are among the foremost common mental diseases, with immense attendant quality of life and monetary price. Unani medicine, as is well known, based on the Hippocratic humoral theory. In Unani medicine, psychiatrical disorders are dealt thoroughly below the heading of “amraz-e-nafsaniya” wherever physicians and students outlined varied symptoms of psychic faculty and their distortion due to the involvement of humours especially “safra” and “sauda”. The basic principle within the Unani treatment is to revive the normalcy of patient, correction of imbalance of mizaj and to revive the balance of humours within the body by evacuation of excessive and deranged/ abnormal humours.
