“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity". Unani scholars have provided a detailed description of the seasons under the category of Tadabir-e-Mausam, diseases specific to each season, and advice for preserving good health in each season positively and uniquely. The effect of changing in seasons is related to the quality that changes along with them, which has a significant impact on body states. This review was designed to provide an overview of the literature on general health issues in winter. Winter-related health issues like cold air, immersion in water, through touching the cold surfaces, often associated with insufficient clothing or physical activity may result in whole-body cooling and a decrease in core temperature which is aggravated by exposure to wind or cold water. Cold-related health burdens have often been reported to be higher in the UK compared to other countries with cold climates. In major cities of the world, a 1˚ C reduction in mean temperature below 11˚C was associated with an increase in mortality of 2.9%, 3.4%, 4.8% and 1.7% from all causes cardiovascular, respiratory, and non-cardio-respiratory causes respectively. In USOM, the winter season is called "Mausam shit ̛a”. Mizaj of the season is barid ratab (cold and moist), in the air the amount of Bukharaati maeiyaa is more through which it becomes kaseef (heavier). The tabiyat of air is quite similar to the tabiyat of water, resulting in the evacuation of maada in the body is lesser in this season. Balghami disease are more prevalent like Nazla, Zukam (cough and coryza), Zat-ul-janab (pleurisy), Zat-ul-riya (pneumonia), and Awoja (Arthralgia). So Har bil fael and Har bil quwa ghiza are recommended like that Magaziyat.
