ABSTRACT

This review explores the health assessment of traffic police officers and disease prevention strategies through Unani medicine, with a specific focus on Asbab-e-Sittae Zaroriyah(the six essential factors of health). Traffic police officers, due to their high-stress, irregular work hours, and exposure to environmental pollutants, are at increased risk of various health issues. This study examines how Unani medicine, a traditional system of healing with a holistic approach, can contribute to improving their overall health and well-being. The review synthesizes existing literature on the health challenges faced by traffic police, including cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental health issues. It further evaluates how Unani medicine, with its emphasis on balance and prevention, aligns with the principles of Asbab-e-Sittae Zaroriyah environment, diet, sleep, physical activity, mental state, and elimination. By integrating Unani practices such as dietary modifications, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adaptations, this review proposes potential interventions for disease prevention and health promotion tailored to the unique needs of traffic police officers. The findings suggest that incorporating Unani medicine into routine health assessments and preventive care can enhance resilience and reduce the incidence of occupational health problems among traffic police. This approach not only addresses immediate health concerns but also promotes long-term well-being through a balanced and preventive strategy, reflecting a significant shift towards integrative health practices in occupational health management.
