Abstract
Background and Aim: Jāmi medicine is one of the herbal medicines which is used in the society and discussed in Hakim Aghili Khorasani’s Qarābādīn Kabīr. This study aims to introduce this medicine in terms of its characteristics, application and how to use it from the perspective of Hakim Aghili Khorasani and to determine the status of its ingredients in traditional and common medicine.
Methods: This research is a review of various sources of traditional medicine especially Qarābādīn Kabīr. The studied sources include primary texts from the Islamic civilization available in Noor digital library and various electronic databases.
Ethical Considerations: In compiling this research, the principles of trustworthiness and honesty of citing the used texts, originality of sources and avoiding bias in referring to texts or analyzes have been observed.
Results: Hakim Aghili Khorasani is one of the greatest Iranian physicians of the late 12th and early 13th centuries AH and the largest Qarābādīn that exists to this day is one of his works. In this book, Jāmi medicine, referred to as Dawā al-Jāmiʿah, is associated with Imam Riḍā (A) and is used for treating conditions such as paralysis, heart palpitations, tuberculosis and cough. The formulation includes honey, sunbul al-ṭīb, saffron, cardamom, Aqirqarḥā, white kharbaq, white al-banj seeds, white pepper and Farfīyūn. Traditional medical texts attribute numerous beneficial properties to these ingredients.
Conclusion: Although no laboratory research has been done on Jāmi medicine, there are some traditional medicine texts and new medical articles about the terms of this drug separately and regardless of their use in the mentioned drug, which reported several therapeutic properties for them. Since the benefits and applications mentioned for this drug in Qarābādīn Kabīr seem likely, it is suggested to research in order to its safety and effectiveness.
