Dr. Shafiya, Dr. Afreen Akbani, Dr. Ayemon Zeba

Abstract: Cervicitis (Iltehab-e-Unqur Rehm) is a common gynaecological condition frequently observed in women of reproductive age. The Unani system of medicine attributes such conditions to imbalances in Akhlat (humors), reflected in the individual's Mizaj (temperament). This review consolidates evidence from several observational and clinical studies on the role of Mizaj in cervicitis and related pathologies, underscoring the predominance of Damvi and Safravi temperaments. The article identifies existing research gaps and proposes future directions to bridge traditional Unani insights with modern clinical frameworks.
