The Science

The science behind better health

Where the wisdom of Unani and Ayurveda meets modern nutrition science.

ReHealthMe formulations start with traditional knowledge, are shaped by modern nutritional understanding, and are written down in full on the label. This page explains how we think — in plain language, without turning tradition into medical promises.

TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
CORE TRADITION

Unani

A traditional system built around individual temperament (Mizaj), balance, diet and daily habits.

MODERN UNDERSTANDING
EVIDENCE-LED

Nutrition Science

What nutrients actually do in the body — and the doses the research is based on.

COMPLEMENTARY VIEW

Ayurveda

A traditional Indian perspective on constitution, food, lifestyle and botanicals.

Ilaj bil Ghiza

Care through food and nutrition

Ilaj bil Ghiza is the Unani idea of managing health through diet. It is a traditional framework, not a modern clinical protocol — but it sits naturally beside what nutrition science tells us about nutrients and physiology.

01

Traditional Unani view

Food is part of health management, chosen to suit the person and the season.

02

Modern nutrition science

Nutrients participate in metabolism and normal physiological functions at known intakes.

03

The ReHealthMe approach

Thoughtful nutrition, traditional knowledge and formulation science — with doses printed in full.

04

Your own plan

A practitioner turns the general idea into something that fits your routine.

Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriya

The six essentials of life

Unani lists six essentials that shape health day to day. Each is paired below with the modern perspective — related in spirit, but not a claim that the two are scientifically identical.

HAWA

Air & environment

UNANI CONCEPT

Clean air and a suitable environment are treated as the first essential.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Air quality, ventilation and sunlight exposure affect sleep, breathing and general wellbeing.

GHIZA WA MA

Food & drink

UNANI CONCEPT

What you eat and drink is chosen to suit your constitution.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Dietary pattern and hydration are the most studied inputs into long-term health.

HARKAT WA SUKOON

Movement & rest

UNANI CONCEPT

Activity and rest are balanced rather than maximised.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Regular activity with adequate recovery supports metabolic and muscular health.

NAUM WA YAQZAH

Sleep & wakefulness

UNANI CONCEPT

Sleeping and waking at suitable times is considered essential, not optional.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Sleep duration and regularity influence appetite, mood, hormones and recovery.

IHTIBAS WA ISTIFRAGH

Retention & elimination

UNANI CONCEPT

The body should retain what it needs and clear what it does not.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Normal digestive, kidney and liver function handle nutrient use and clearance.

HARKAT-E-NAFSANI

Mental & emotional state

UNANI CONCEPT

Emotions are treated as a genuine part of physical health.

MODERN PERSPECTIVE

Chronic stress measurably affects sleep, appetite, blood pressure and recovery.

Where Unani meets nutrition science

A conceptual connection, not an equivalence

These pairings show how a traditional idea maps onto a modern nutritional way of thinking. They are complementary lenses on the same everyday questions.

UNANI PERSPECTIVE
MODERN NUTRITIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Mizaj (temperament)
Individual physiological variation
Ilaj bil Ghiza (care through food)
Nutrition-based health support
Balance
Homeostasis
Lifestyle essentials
Diet, activity, sleep and behaviour
Individualised approach
Personalised nutrition

A conceptual connection only. Traditional concepts are not presented as scientifically identical to modern clinical evidence.

Ayurveda

A complementary traditional view

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of health. We draw on its botanical knowledge where it is relevant, and we say plainly when something is traditional use rather than modern evidence.

PRAKRITI

Individual constitution

TRADITIONAL IDEA

Each person is described as having their own natural constitution.

HOW WE USE IT

Another reminder that one formulation does not suit everyone equally.

AHARA & VIHARA

Food & lifestyle

TRADITIONAL IDEA

Diet and daily routine are the first considerations.

HOW WE USE IT

Our formulations are built to support a routine, never to replace one.

DRAVYAGUNA

Botanical knowledge

TRADITIONAL IDEA

Centuries of documented traditional use of plants and minerals.

HOW WE USE IT

A starting point for ingredient selection — then checked against nutritional and research evidence.

Why nutrition science matters

What nutrients actually do

Nutrients take part in normal physiological processes. None of this is a treatment for disease — it is the everyday machinery your body runs on.

VITAMINS & MINERALS

Essential micronutrients

Vitamins and minerals act as cofactors in normal metabolism — for example vitamin C in normal collagen formation, zinc in normal DNA synthesis and immune function.

AMINO ACIDS

Protein building blocks

Amino acids are used to build the body's own proteins. Some, like L-arginine, are also physiological substrates for other molecules such as nitric oxide.

FATTY ACIDS

Structure and signalling

Fatty acids form cell membranes and are involved in normal signalling processes.

PLANT COMPOUNDS

Polyphenols and extracts

Standardised plant extracts concentrate specific compounds so a formulation can match the amounts used in research, rather than guessing.

ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEMS

Protecting cells

Certain nutrients contribute to protecting cells from oxidative stress — a normal physiological role, not a cure for anything.

ELECTROLYTES

Fluid and function

Electrolytes such as magnesium contribute to normal muscle and nervous system function and to electrolyte balance.

How we formulate

From traditional knowledge to modern formulation

01

Traditional knowledge

We start from documented traditional use in Unani and Ayurveda.

02

Ingredient selection

Ingredients are shortlisted, then standardised extracts are chosen where available.

03

Nutrition & evidence

Doses are checked against nutritional roles and published research, and labelled honestly.

04

Formulation

The final format is built so the dose survives — no proprietary blends, no hidden amounts.
