Assertion (A): "Marze Akhzar" or "Khizra", is a special type of SooUl Qiniya.
Reason (R): This is common in young girls due to menstrual abnormalities. There is change of skin colour into greenish or yellowish green, and this is due to alteration in the components of blood leading to change in the colour of the blood.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Marze Akhzar = Khizra = greenish skin due to altered blood from menstrual issues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Marze Akhzar or Khizra is recognized in Unani medicine as a type of SooUl Qiniya, which relates to pathological changes in the blood.
This condition is characterized by a greenish or yellowish green tint to the skin, which occurs due to altered blood components.
It is commonly seen in young girls and is often linked to menstrual disorders, which disturb the balance of blood constituents.
Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct.
The reason directly explains the assertion because the skin colour change is due to blood changes related to menstrual irregularities.
Hence, option (1) is correct.
