Baraz(Stool) Analysis in Unani System of Medicine: Uncovering the Secrets of an Ancient Diagnostic Tool

Author(s) Dr. Saba Bano, Dr. Noor Alam
Country India
Abstract A physician's primary concern is the human body. A variety of tools are used to assess a person's physical state. Barāz (stool) analysis plays a pivotal role in understanding gastrointestinal health and disease. Stool analysis has been used by Unani scholars since ancient times and is still employed by modern-day physicians. This diagnostic technique is mentioned in the works of Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen, Avicenna, and a few others and demonstrates the significance of these tools. This review paper synthesizes the knowledge regarding stool analysis and approaches, highlighting their importance in clinical diagnosis and research. All indicators of stool explained by Unani scholars remain the same but have become more refined with the advancement of microscopes and lab equipment, allowing physicians to identify human body states in a more complex manner. Stool is the waste product of haḍm mi‘dῑ wa mewi (alimentary canal digestion). A comprehensive examination of the stool will disclose a lot of information about the body's physiological functioning and metabolic processes, and condition of the stomach and intestines, as well as the whole gastrointestinal tract and adjacent organs. It aids in the diagnosis of a wide range of medical conditions in the body.
Keywords Barāz (stool), Analysis, Unani medicine, Diagnostic tool.
