5G Radiation and Menstrual Health: A Unani Perspective on Its Impact
Dr. Asma Umme Salma, Dr. Shahzadi Sultana, Dr. Syeda Qizra
Abstract: The Advent of 5G Networks and Their Potential Impact on Menstrual Health: As the world embraces the transformative power of 5G technology, concerns and questions about its potential impact on human health continue to rise. One of the emerging areas of focus is its implications for menstrual health. While research into the effects of 5G radiation is still in its infancy, understanding the intersection between this cutting - edge technology and women's health is crucial. Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF - EMFs), emitted by wireless communication technologies like mobile phones, Wi - Fi, and 5G, are a growing concern due to their potential biological effects. Despite the numerous benefits these technologies bring, research suggests that prolonged exposure to RF - EMFs might have harmful consequences, particularly on sensitive systems such as the hypothalamic - pituitary axis and reproductive health. The Unani system of medicine, a holistic approach rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, provides a unique perspective on these impacts. Unani medicine emphasizes the balance of four humors?blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile?and their role in maintaining health. This paper explores the intersection of RF - EMFs and Unani principles, focusing on how RF - EMF exposure could influence menstrual health through hormonal disruption, oxidative stress, and sleep disturbances. It also examines how Unani theories of temperament (Mizaj) and humoral balance (Akhlat) might offer a framework for understanding these effects, especially in relation to hormonal and reproductive health. By integrating modern scientific research with Unani insights, this article provides a comprehensive view of the potential health risks posed by RF - EMFs and the role of traditional medicine in addressing them.
