Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an
increased risk of many adverse health effects. Vitamin D
plays an important role in immunity and its classic
effects on calcium and bone homeostasis. Enzymes that
metabolize vitamin D and vitamin D receptor (VDR) are
present in many cell types, including various immune
cells such as antigen presenting cells, T cells, B cells, and
monocytes. Vitamin D has the ability to play an
autocrine role in the local immune environment. Vitamin
D can regulate innate and adaptive immune responses.
Vitamin D deficiency is related to decreased
autoimmunity and increased susceptibility to infection.
The beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation on
individuals lacking autoimmune diseases may exceed its
effects on calcium and bone homeostasis. The main
concern of the Unani medical system is human health,
and its maintenance is the main function of Tabiat

therapies, and regiminal therapy is one of them. The
main purpose of this review article is to explore this
ancient holistic pathy and establish a connection with
modern theory.
