Abstract
Background and Aim: The "Treatise of Arais al-Jawahir va Nafais al-Atayyib" is a valuable treatise from the seventh century; AH has gained a considerable reputation among the scientific and technological treatises of its time. This treatise deals with stones, medicine, and tiling and contains various topics that differentiate from medical treatises. Given the importance of this issue and the lack of attention to the treatise's medical aspects, this study aims to introduce, analyze, infer, and classify medicine's generalities from this treatise.
Materials and Methods: This study has used the library and documentary method to compare the "Arais" treatise with the most important stones and perfumes treatises, which were written before analyzing each section and inferred the findings.
Findings: In both types of treatises, after introducing and mentioning the characteristics of stones and Perfumes, the medical properties are expressed based on the philosophy of nature and logic, which is the basis of traditional medicine. Folk medical beliefs are also a significant part of this treatise.
Conclusion: According to the treatise's topics, three medical approaches can be understood based on evidence from the "Arais al-Jawahir" prescription; these three approaches are Healing based on traditional medicine, folk medicine beliefs, and the Therapeutic magical properties of stones, metals, and Perfumes. The coordination of these approaches using stones is another result of this research
