This review delves into the historical significance and therapeutic efficacy of Fasd (Venesection) in managing Irq-un-nasa (Sciatica) within the Unani medical tradition. Iraq-un-NASA, commonly known as sciatica, is characterized by radiating pain originating from the hip joint down the leg. The review explores the etiology, symptomatology, and treatment approaches described in classical Unani literature. Fasd, a technique involving controlled bloodletting, emerges as a central intervention for addressing the underlying imbalance of humoral factors causing Irq-un-nasa. The study highlights the historical lineage of Fasd across civilizations and its integration into Unani medical practice. While traditional wisdom underscores Fasd's therapeutic potential, scientific validation through rigorous research and clinical trials is essential to substantiate its effectiveness.
