Osteoarthritis is the commonest of all joint diseases. It results due to breakdown and destruction of joint tissues. The clinical picture of osteoarthritis strongly resembles with Waja-ul-Mafasil which has been elaborated in detail by Unani physicians. Considering the high prevalence, side effects of modern pharmacological treatment and high cost of surgical interventions with equivocal effectiveness of all treatment modalities, there is need for safe, economic and effective treatment in Unani Medicine for osteoarthritis. Unani System of Medicine has Ilaj Bit Tadbeer (Regimenal Therapy) as one of the modes of treatment. The Regimenal Therapy works on the principle of modifying or modulating the six essential factors (Asbaab-e-sittah zarooriya) for maintenance of health and prevention from diseases. Nowadays Regimenal Therapy holds an important place in Unani Medicine particularly for musculoskeletal and nervous disorders. The focus of this paper is to discuss and summarize the role of Ilaj bit Tadbeer in the management of Waja-ul-Mafasil.Key words: Osteoarthritis, Waja-ul-Mafasil, Unani System of Medicine, Ilaj Bit Tadbeer, Regimenal Therapy.
