Abstract
The Iranian physicians have proposed six principles in traditional medicine for being healthy and preventing from diseases and they called them โThe six essential principlesโ. As the Quran is a comprehensive book for human beings, the essential efforts are certainly specified in it. Thatโs why the above mentioned principles in Quran approve their validity and persuade human beings to consider them to be healthy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to find out the viewpoint of Quran about the six essential principles of Iranian Traditional medicine for being healthy. Materials and Methods: First, the required issues were adapted from the samples subjected to the aim and selected from the Iranian Traditional medicine book and were studied deeply by qualitative study of phenology. Then the data were analyzed by content analysis. Also, the verses related to the issues were adapted from Quran software and were translated and interpreted. Results : Six major classifications such as โlife environmentโ , โfoodโ , spiritual statusโ , โphysical activityโ , โsleeping and awakingโ , โexcretion and retentionโ , and four minor classifications such asโ climatesโ , โseasonsโ , โsexual intercourseโ and โmenstruationโ were adopted from data analysis. These classifications in Quran were stated by three manners like โdirectโ, โindirectโ and โintegrativeโ. Conclusions: The essential principles of health in Iranian medicine were not only stated in Quran, but also were emphasized.
