Development of Unani medicine during Mughal period.

Unani medicine was introduced into India in the 7th century A.D. Its progress was not so significant during the reigns of Khiljis, Tughlaqs and Lodhis. Its real development took place during the Mughal period. Apart from the literary works done on the Unani medicine during this period, several hospitals were also established by Mughal emperors and nobles in various parts of the country. Development of Unani medicine in India during the Mughal period was superior both in quantity and quality as compared to the development made during the pre-Mughal period.
