Overview

Balgham and Biochemistry: A Unani Perspective on Gluconeogenesis and Metabolic Adaptation explores the classical Unani concept of Balgham (Phlegm) and its scientific correlation with modern biochemistry. The book bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary physiology, presenting how the qualities of Balgham-coolness, moistness, and heaviness-can be understood in terms of glucose metabolism, gluconeogenesis, neuroendocrine regulation, and fluid balance. It highlights the role of Balgham in health and disease, integrating concepts of Mizaj (temperament), Akhlat (humours), and Tabi'at (vital force) with biochemical pathways of energy regulation. Drawing parallels between Unani medicine and modern metabolic science, the work provides an innovative perspective for students, researchers, and practitioners seeking integrative medical understanding. This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to bridge traditional medical philosophy with contemporary biomedical knowledge.
