Islamic medicine

Islamic medicine refers to the medical knowledge and practices developed in the Islamic Golden Age, primarily between the 8th and 14th centuries. It integrates the teachings of the Quran and Hadith with ancient Greek, Roman, and Persian medical texts. Notable figures like Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and Al-Razi made significant contributions, emphasizing observation, experimentation, and ethno-botanical therapies. Islamic medicine also includes holistic approaches, focusing on the balance of body, mind, and spirit. It laid the groundwork for modern medicine, influencing medical practices and education in both the Islamic world and Europe.
