Islamic Medicine
Islamic Medicine refers to the medical practices and knowledge developed in the Islamic world from the 8th to the 14th centuries. It combined ancient Greek, Roman, and Persian medical texts with Islamic teachings, emphasizing the importance of both physical and spiritual health. Notable figures, such as Avicenna, contributed significantly to this field, with works like The Canon of Medicine that served as medical references for centuries.
The practice of Islamic Medicine also included herbal remedies, surgery, and the establishment of hospitals. It emphasized the importance of hygiene, diet, and preventive care, reflecting the holistic approach to health found in Islamic teachings. This tradition laid the groundwork for modern medicine in many ways.
