Dhivehi beys

Dweep is another word used for islands and Unani is the term for Hippocratic humoral system of herbal medicine practiced in South Asia.Legends abound about the feats of such special healers as "Buraki Ranin", the sixteenth-century queen of Sultan Muhamed, who was said to cure sword wounds overnight with her own dressings.The treatise written by El-Sheikh Ahmed didi of Meedhoo (Seenu Atoll) who died in 1937 forms the foundation of today's traditional medicine.Some hakeems are schooled in "Unani" medicine, which treats the whole person, combining ancient remedies with new drugs.Several spas in resorts are now adapting this traditional medicine with modern techniques and hygiene to offer tourists as taste of Dhivehi Beys.
