About

Dr Yumna Mayet is a Registered Practitioner of Unani Tibb and a Registered Counsellor practising in Cape Town, South Africa. Her work integrates the principles of classical Unani medical philosophy with contemporary therapeutic practice, with a particular interest in whole-person care.

Her practice offers personalised, holistic care for a range of physical and mental health concerns, recognising the dynamic interconnection between body, mind, and inner life. Illness is understood not only as a set of symptoms, but as an experience shaped by meaning, mizaj, environment, and the unique lived context of each individual.

Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment are guided by classical principles alongside contemporary clinical understanding, with an emphasis on sustainable wellbeing and thoughtful integration across systems of care.

Beyond the consulting room, her work extends into professional education and interdisciplinary dialogue within traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine. Dr Mayet has represented Unani Medicine in national and international forums and has presented on both clinical applications and the responsible integration of traditional systems within contemporary healthcare frameworks. 

Her work is guided by the conviction that health extends beyond the relief of symptoms, reflecting balance, resilience, and coherence – a steadying of the individual within themselves and in the world they inhabit. In practice, this is expressed through careful attention, discernment, and respect for the complexity of each person’s experience of health and healing.
