Abstract
One of the most common problems for the Traditional Persian Medicine and Modern medicine is to compare the illness which has been described in the past with its new definition. This difference causes many problems both in finding the cure for the illness and detecting its cases. The present study is aimed at comparing one of the ancient subjects in Persian Medicine named “Ghooba” with modern illness (i.e. Psoriasis). In order to gain the ideal results, a qualitative phenomenological design was performed based on Graneheim and Lundman method. In this regard, 9 experts who had extensive experience in the field were interviewed. The interviews were based on six basic questions and each interviewee explained his/her view freely about the subject. Next, all interviews were recorded, coded, and analyzed thoroughly. We hope the results of this study help to clarify the name of the illness and be useful in finding a more effective treatment with fewer side effects for the disease. Key Words: Psoriasis, Ghooba, Traditional Persian Medicine, Modern medicine, qualitative study.
