Most people who come to this practice have already seen their GP. Their blood tests came back normal. They were told everything is fine. But they still feel exhausted, or anxious, or unable to function the way they used to. That gap, between what the tests show and how someone actually feels, is where this work begins.
Abdus Samad Azad is a holistic health practitioner based in Bethnal Green, East London. His practice draws on Unani Tibb medicine, a tradition rooted in over 3,000 years of healing wisdom, combined with Energetic Nutrition, Life Coaching, and Wellbeing Counselling to address the root causes of what a person is experiencing, not just the surface symptoms. The practice is available in person in Bethnal Green and via video call UK-wide.
Personalised. Natural. Whole-person.
Abdus Samad Azad
Holistic Health Practitioner Bethnal Green, East London
Certified in Energetic NutritionGuild of Unani Tibb
Before training as a practitioner, I experienced ongoing digestive discomfort, disrupted sleep, and skin concerns that conventional appointments weren't able to resolve. It affected my work and my day-to-day wellbeing significantly. Looking for alternative approaches, I explored Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the tradition felt too unfamiliar for me to connect with, and homeopathy, but it didn't feel like the right fit either.
I found an approach that really connected with me: the consultation, the pulse assessment. Seeing the benefits firsthand set me on the path to becoming a trained practitioner in this Unani Tibb health tradition, rooted in over 3,000 years of healing wisdom, to help others the way it helped me. I studied under Hakim M. Salim Khan, the leading practitioner of this tradition in the UK, from 2012 to 2015.
I've been practicing for over a decade since (more than 1,000 consultations), working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, supporting digestive health, energy, sleep quality, and emotional wellbeing. I've delivered community workshops on emotional wellbeing at the Markfield Conference Centre, organised by the College of Medicine and Healing Arts, and have served as an examiner and invigilator for the College for the past 3 years. I speak English, Arabic, Urdu, and Bangla.

How I work
A whole-person approach to every consultation
Every consultation starts from the same place: a genuine attempt to understand the full picture of what someone is experiencing, not just the presenting symptom. Diet, sleep, stress, environment, lifestyle, and emotional state are examined together, because in most cases they are connected. The plan that follows reflects that complexity. Your GP or doctor's advice always comes first. As part of your consultation, we'll talk through any medication you're currently taking to make sure your plan works alongside it, not against it.
Root causes, not symptom management
The aim is to understand why something is happening, not just to manage the experience of it.
Personalised to your constitution
Unani Tibb recognises that each person has a distinct constitution. The plan is specific to you, not a generic protocol.
Natural medicine and nutrition combined
Nutritional guidance, natural supplementation, and lifestyle recommendations work together, not as separate interventions.
Available in person and online
