Arabic Medicine

Arabic Medicine refers to the medical practices developed during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries), influenced by earlier Greek, Roman, and Persian knowledge. It emphasized observation, experimentation, and the use of herbal remedies, alongside holistic approaches to health. Prominent figures like Avicenna (Ibn Sina) wrote influential texts, such as "The Canon of Medicine," which integrated philosophy and science, laying foundations for modern medicine. Arabic Medicine not only advanced surgical techniques and pharmacology but also established hospitals and medical ethics, significantly contributing to health sciences and the wellbeing of communities.
