Abstract: (475 Views) |
Viral infections, characterized by their high transmissibility, can lead to rapid disease spread in a short period, potentially resulting in widespread epidemics and, in some cases, global pandemics. Thus, finding simple and accessible prevention and treatment methods is valuable. This study aims to investigate the application of Persian medicine methods in highly prevalent viral diseases, especially monkeypox and chickenpox, examine their mechanisms of action, and compare them with conventional treatments. To this end, relevant information was extracted from Persian medicine texts using keywords like as "abeleh", "jodari" and "homaiqa". Additionally, reputable scientific articles were reviewed in databases such as Scopus and PubMed to gather information on monkeypox and chickenpox. Data analysis indicated that in Persian medicine "abeleh", "jodari" and "homaiqa" exhibit symptoms similar to those of monkeypox and chickenpox, and the existing writings provide valuable insights into natural immunity, comprehensive treatment, and lifestyle modifications. Findings suggest that integrating principles of Persian medicine, such as balancing bodily humors and enhancing the immune system, could complement modern medical approaches for viral diseases. Future research should focus on conducting clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of complementary medicine interventions. |
