Abstract: According to the Unani medical philosophy, a doctor is only an assistance to the body's natural healing abilities, or Tabiyat (physique), hence diet should be based on it. The word diet is taken from a Latin word ‘dieta’ which means a way of living in Greek. The food therapy is an important part of Traditional Medicine, it not only nourishes and strengthens the body, but it can also prevent diseases and prolongs life. In Unani System of Medicine, Dieto therapy (Ilaj bil Ghiza) is a unique non medicinal therapy by which the patients are treated and health is attained through modulation in dietary habits i.e. fasting and by regulating the quantity and quality of food. To keep the digestive system functioning at its best, different diets have been suggested for different life phases. The manner in which foods affect the body is viewed in Unani from a simple yet highly interesting viewpoint. The concept of Dietary Therapy (Ilaj bil Ghiza) in the Unani system of medicine, as well as its significance, classifications, terminologies, and advantages, have all been elaborated upon in this study. Dietotherapy is the practise of using food to help patients recover from sickness. Both individuals having a normal diet and those who have been prescribed a modified diet are concerned. Modified diets are the main therapeutic agents in various chronic and metabolic disorders; which meant for both preventive and therapeutic measures.
