Abstract
Background and Aim: From the viewpoint of Persian medicine, many diseases may be caused by foods, drinks and digestive system malfunctions and esophagus has an important role in this regard as the passage for food passing. As we know there is no comparative studies on esophageal diseases in traditional and modern medicine, the aim of this article is to examine the possibility of adapting their definitions and their etiology in both traditional and modern medicine schools so with combination of these two, we could achieve some better ways to treat esophageal diseases.
Materials and Methods: This is library research and a study of definitions, symptoms, etiology and therapies of esophagus diseases in valid texts of Persian medicine from the third to the thirteenth century has focused on the coincidences between traditional and modern medcine in esophageal diseases as good as possible.
Findings: It was found in this research that 7 diseases were stated for esophagus in traditional medical texts, which are the basis for their treatment is to remove the reasons of the diseases and in addition to oral therapy, the use of other therapeutic methods of traditional medicine such as lifestyle modification, topical use of drugs, handworks also recommend that some of these do not have a place in modern medicine.
Conclusion: Studying the texts of traditional and modern medicine about esophagus diseases shows that some of these diseases were stated in both traditional and modern medicine and there are some similarities in terms of etiology as well as definitions and better treatment may be obtained using both medical schools. Therefore, more studies are needed to express esophagus disease etiology in traditional and modern medicine and proving the effect of different traditional treatments.
