ON THE PECULIARITIES OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUSLY MEDIATED TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

Abstract

This text is a response to an important and interesting article by O. Kotynia «”Medicine of the Prophet” as a form of Islamic traditional medicine» (published in No. 2 (8) of this Journal, 2014, section “Science”). The intention to enter into dialogue with the author is due to the fact that, along with the extremely valuable material presented in this work, there are, in my opinion, a number of inaccurate and erroneous statements which spring from the fact that the author extrapolates what is known to her from the “medicine of the Prophet” in Yemen to the entire Islamic tradition.
