Traditional medicine is a science that discusses the human body, different natures, different temperaments, the effects of medicinal plants and their effects on different temperaments, the temperament of the seasons, the effects of various types of drinks, teas and foods. In traditional medicine, it has been tried to provide suitable treatments for all kinds of diseases by relying on the power of nature. Diagnosing the causes of diseases and treating them in this science is done entirely with natural and often herbal products and therefore has the least side effects on the patient's body.
This type of medicine has been established for many years and it is interesting to know that Koreans and Chinese were the first users of this medicine in the world. This science quickly found its place in our beloved Iran and great people like Abu Ali Sina have made many discoveries and researches in this science. The noteworthy point is that, contrary to common misconceptions in Iran, which consider this science to be mostly the science of perfumers, traditional medicine is an advanced and sometimes complex science to the extent that some herbal, animal and mineral medicines are made using this science. They are much more expensive and complicated than their chemical counterparts. In the advanced countries of the world, such as the United States and most of the first-class European countries, a new approach has emerged that along with chemical drugs, there are herbal, animal, and mineral equivalents that patients can choose to use. It is noteworthy that most traditional medicine equivalents are more expensive than chemical drugs. The reasons for the high cost of these drugs are the complexity of production, the rarity of natural substances, the absence of side effects, and other such things. It is a very happy place that plant and mineral resources are found in abundance in our country of Iran, and therefore the production of these types of plants has a much lower cost than foreign counterparts.
