Abstract
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in clinical medicine. It is a prominent manifestation of a number of systemic, neurologic, and psychiatric syndromes, although aprecise cause will not be identified in a substantial minority of patients. Fatigue refers to the subjective human experience of physical and mental weariness, sluggishness, low energy, and exhaustion.[1] Fatigue is typically described as extreme and persistent tiredness, weakness, orexhaustion, whether mental, physical, or both. In many cases, fatigue doesn't have a clearphysical cause and can arise as a result of illness or simply from exertion, inadequate rest, or an inadequate diet. Therefore, it's best to think of fatigue as a spectrum, ranging from mild complaints that are frequently seen in the community to severe, disabling fatigue that can have significant social and economic consequences.[2] The concept of Mizaj in the Unani system of medicine is a vast area of research. Mizaj theory finds its roots in the ancient four Humors theory. This medical theory was systematized and developed by the Greek physician Buqrat (Hippocrates, 460-370 BC). He believed that the body, and diagnosis caused certain human moods, emotions, and behaviours and line of management of any disease is based upon it. In this cross-sectional descriptive study to assess the Mizaj and fatigue severity, we used Mizaj assessment proforma based on classical literature and fatigue severity scale in apparently healthy individuals of different ages and both genders & this study was carried out in students of Ayurvedic and Unani tibbia College & Hospital, Karol Bagh New Delhi.
