In Clinical assessment Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), when Unani pharmacopeial formulation Raughan Kahu (liquid oil) was locally applied (1.0 ml/day) to the patients for a period of 7-days. A significant reduction 27.11% (p<0.0001) in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) had been observed, when compared with baseline to post-treatment (7-days) (Table-2). In biochemical study, No significant alterations in liver function tests and kidney function tests had been observed. Therefore, it can be inferred that it did not induce any negative or unfavorable response. The safety of the drug is therefore conformed (Table-3). In haematological study, no significant alterations in the level of haemoglobin, Red blood corpuscles (RBC), Total Leucocytes counts (TLC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Differential Leucocytes Counts (DLC) had been observed. When compared with the values of baseline and Post-treatment (7-days) (Table-4).
