I will suggest you to read the books of Hakim Sabir Multani . He was the biggest Hakim after Ibne Sina. His theory of treatment is very easy and scientific. He wrote more than a dozen books. Allopathic is wrong and unscientific is his most popular book. The day is not far when the whole world will admit his research. Even now his books are best sellers in the market. You can treat all the diseases with just 3 medicines with his simple organopathy way of treatment. He was the first hakeem who used to treat his patients with just food. He alone presented a complete pharmacopoeia.His books will be very helpful for yo in private practice.

Many students gets admission in DHMS and DUMS at a time, as the curriculum/syllabus of both diplomas are very much similar. We too recommend it. FTJ is very easy as medium of instruction is Urdu and unfortunately exams are conducted in very friendly atmosphere. There is also no any issue of attendance that’s why many students continue their regular studies too with DUMS. You may also get admission in pharmacy technician course if you are interested to open a allopathic medical store. It’s a two years diploma after matriculation with science. It will also help you in starting your own herbal pharmacy business.

This field requires fresh blood for research and a talented and hardworking person can earn lot of money just only with private practice. There is a great space for research minded person in this field. People are fed up with modern medicines and coming back towards nature. In future demand of natural-paths and unani medicine will increase a lot.  Job satisfaction is also guaranteed as you help the people to fight against diseases. So at least view the syllabus books and then decide either it is a suitable career for you or not.

Although due to efforts of National Council for Homeopathy DHMS diploma has been declared equivalent to B.Sc and BHMS equivalent to M.Sc/BS but still national council for Tibb has not succeeded in this regard. FTJ is one the best study option for females after matriculation with science as they can start clinic at home after completing the course. Age limit for getting admission in FTJ diploma is 45 years. Fees of tibbia colleges are also very nominal. Many government servants also gets this diploma to start private practice after retirement.
