تاريخ

Health an‎d disease are two fundamental categories in the history of medicine that not only affect the understan‎ding of the functioning of the human body, but are also a reflection of the philosophical, cultural, an‎d social attitudes of different societies. Iranian medicine, as one of the rich medical systems, has experienced important developments in the definition an‎d explanation of health an‎d disease over the centuries. This research aimed to examine the history an‎d evolution of the concepts of health an‎d disease in Iranian medicine from ancient times to the contemporary period. The research method was carried out in a historical-analytical manner using written sources, comparative studies, an‎d interviews with physicians an‎d specialists in Iranian medicine to identify an‎d analyze different perspectives an‎d approaches to health an‎d disease in four historical periods (ancient, Islamic, Safavid an‎d Qajar, an‎d contemporary). The findings showed that the concept of health in Iranian medicine has developed from the balance of natural forces an‎d body elements in ancient times to a broad approach including physical, psychological, social an‎d moral dimensions in later periods, an‎d in the contemporary period, the combination of traditional teachings with modern medical approaches has promoted prevention, strengthened public health an‎d improved the efficiency of treatments. This research also showed that social, cultural an‎d philosophical developments in each period have played an important role in shaping medical attitudes, an‎d observing the principles of prevention, modifying lifestyle an‎d paying attention to mental an‎d moral health remain among the most important teachings of Iranian medicine. The results of the research emphasize that studying an‎d rereading historical teachings not only has research an‎d scientific value, but can also be used as practical guidance for promoting individual an‎d community health, designing prevention programs an‎d developing integrated treatments.
