This is particularly true since the dangers and shortcomings of modern medicines have started getting more apparent. Currently there had been many advances in the strategies for discovery and evaluation of drugs, particularly plant based. The input of bio-chemistry to pharmacology followed by clinical trials puts more emphasis on the mode of action of drugs, albeit it becomes clear that the activities of most drugs are not confined to one single mode of action. This has led to generating lot of new researches and there is, therefore, an enormous need for exchange of this vital information for wider use by scientific community across the world engaged in the search of new drugs of plant origin. Although the Unani medicines have been in use for centuries and are known for their therapeutic efficacies, there is a need to scientifically establish their efficacy and safety in order to achieve global acceptance. Organized research work in this system is, therefore, a need of the hour. In this direction, Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine, through its clinical, drug research, literary research, survey & cultivation of medicinal plants programme is contributing significantly for last three decades. Vitiligo, sinusitis, filariasis, eczema, malaria, infective hepatitis, asthma are some of the conditions where Unani therapies have earned recognition after scientific validation. The Council has been publishing the peer reviewed Hippocratic Journal of Unani Medicine (HJUM), mainly to bring out fundamental and applied aspects of Unani Medicine. The journal also publishes recent advances in other related sciences and traditional medicines as well as different streams of medical sciences, which have bearing on validation and scientific interpretation of various concpts and strengths of Unani medicine. In view of an overwhelming response, the journal earlier published twice a year, its periodicity had been changed to quarterly w.e.f. January 2008 to accommodate more articles for quick dissemination of research data among scientific community. The journal has sufficient room for invited articles from luminaries of modern medicine and sciences as well as scholars of Unani medicine. The broad areas being covered include clinical research on single and compound Unani drugs, validation of regimental therapy, Clinical and experimental pharmacological studies, standardization of single and compound drugs, development of standard operating procedures, ethnobotanical studies, experimental studies on medicinal plants and development of agro-techniques thereof, and literary research on classics of Unani medicine. The journal is also open for studies on safety evaluation of Unani and other herbo-mineral drugs, nutraceuticals, cosmotherapeutics, aromatics, oral health, life style disorders, sports medicine etc. and such other newer areas which are the outcome of modern day living. The current issue of this journal provides 13 original and review papers in the areas of clinical research, drug standardization, pharmacology, ethnobotanical surveys and allied disciplines contributed by eminent scholars in their respective fields. It is hoped that data presented will contribute significantly in R&D sector of traditional drugs and prove to be an excellent exposition of current research efforts of scientists in this direction. Council acknowledges the authors for their contributions included in this issue and hope for their continued support in this endeavor. We wish to ensure the readers to bring out the future issues of the journal on time. We at the CCRUM have been constantly
