has long been recognized as an effective therapeutic intervention in this system of Medicine and a vast
literature is available regarding it in the classical literature of Unani Medicine. It has been used on patients
for essentially all complaints and conditions since recorded time. Heated sand, rocks, water, animal hides,
and plant fibres have all been described in the ancient medical literature as valid treatments for various
ailments. Such treatments were described as early as some of the Egyptian papyrus writings. The therapeutic
effects of heat include increasing the extensibility of collagen tissues; decreasing joint stiffness; reducing
pain; relieving muscle spasms; reducing inflammation, oedema, and aids in the post-acute phase of healing
and increasing blood flow. The increased blood flow to the affected area provides proteins, nutrients, and
oxygen for better healing. Palliative use of heat therapy has gradually become a staple of medical care
throughout the years and now Hyperthermia (HT) is used as an adjuvant to radiation and chemotherapy
in the treatment of recurrent chest wall breast cancer, melanoma, and oesophageal cancer. |
