Description
Avicenna's Medicine: A New Translation of the 11th-Century Canon with Practical Applications for Integrative Health Care
Translated directly from the original Arabic, this volume presents the actual words of Avicenna, removing the inaccuracies and errors of most previous translations. The book explains current medical interpretations and ways to apply Avicenna's concepts today, particularly for individualized medicine.
A millennium after his life, Avicenna remains one of the most highly regarded physicians of all time. His Canon of Medicine, also known as the Qanun, is one of the most famous and influential books in the history of medicine, forming the basis for our modern understanding of human health and disease. The book reveals how Avicenna's understanding of the "humors" corresponds directly with the biomedical classes known today as proteins, lipids, and organic acids.
