An Introduction to Islamic Medicine

Hakim M. Salim Khan has practised Tibb - Islamic Medicine - since 1978 at Mohsin Health Clinic, Leicester, UK. Currently, he is Principal of College of Medicine and Healing Arts (CoMHA), a UK-based organisation providing training for therapists and community health education on-site and online. This is the first systematic study of Tibb - Islamic Medicine - as a living tradition, by a practising Hakim, to be published in the English language. Originally published in 1986, this is the 5th revised edition. This book introduces the reader to Tibb as a holistic paradigm of health. It explains the history and philosophy of Islamic Medicine, as well as its psychological and physiological concepts. The book discusses Tibb's theory of causes, diagnostic methods and offerings for preventative healthcare.
