Summary
Most population of the world, especially in developing countries relies on traditional medicine (Soleymani et al, 2010; Shahrajabian et al, 2011; Soleymani et al, 2013; Yong and Shahrajabian, 2017; Shahrajabian et al, 2018; Soleymani and Shahrajabian, 2018; Ogbaji et al, 2018; Yong et al, 2018; Shahrajabian et al, 2019a,b). Similar to the Graeco-Arabic medicine, the Iranian traditional medicine is based on the theory that the human body is filled with four basic substances, called humors, including Phlegm (Balgham), Blood (Dam), Yellow bile (Ṣafra) and Black bile (Sauda). The main essence of the Iranian traditional medicine in maintaining health and treating illnesses is that each person should choose a life style which matches their distinguished mizaj. Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in sustainable agriculture and food systems, it offers a holistic approach to prevent diseases while making appropriate use of organic and herbal products especially growth by small-scale family farmers. Zeinalian et al (2015) showed that Iranian-Islamic traditional medicine (IITM) offers an ancient comprehensive personalized medicine (PM) which is more available and inexpensive compared to the modern PM, and it may focus more on fitness than illness in comparison.
