A Fulbright Research Scholar, Hakim G.M. Chishti, N.D. studied traditional healing in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, and has twenty years of practical experience in Unani natural medicine. He is the author of The Book of Sufi Healing (Healing Arts Press, 1991).
"Hakim Chishti has distilled the essence of healing into this
comprehensive text . . . this book is indispensable for anyone
interested in traditional medicine."

Reserve School of Medicine*
"Chishti builds on Avicenna's approach, bringing extensive
knowledge of the original Persian texts to his own experience in
Unani natural medicine. Included is a wealth of information on the
metabolic value of foods, the role of exercise and rest, the cycles
of fevers, classification of pain and pulse diagnosis."
*Yoga Journal*
"A serviceable history of classical herbal medicine . . . still
used by over half the world's population . . . a practical
manual."
