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 hygiene, diet, and herbal remedies. Notable figures, such as Avicenna, contributed significantly to this field, with works like The Canon of Medicine that served as medical references for centuries. Islamic medicine also focused on the holistic treatment of patients, considering physical, mental, and spiritual health. The establishment of hospitals, known as bimaristans, provided care and education, promoting the idea that medical knowledge should be accessible to all. This approach laid the groundwork for modern medical practices.
