Herbal Medicines and Therapeutic Methods in the Poetry of Azerbaijani Style Poets
Hasan Mohammadi , Arash Moshfeghi (Author in Charge), Hosein Dadashi
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Traditional medicine and herbal medicine were among the most important branches of popular sciences in the Islamic Middle Ages and were widely reflected in literary texts, especially Persian poetry. Among the poetic schools, the Azerbaijani style, due to its tendency towards "technical poetry" and extensive use of scientific knowledge, has provided a suitable background for reflecting medical and pharmaceutical concepts. Poets of this style, especially Khaghani, Nezami, and Beylghani, have created complex and multi-layered themes by using the names of medicinal plants and their therapeutic properties, the understanding of which requires familiarity with the knowledge of traditional medicine. The aim of this study is to examine and analyze herbal medicines and therapeutic methods reflected in the poetry of Azerbaijani poets and to explain their level of awareness, mastery, and mastery of the medicinal properties of plants and their therapeutic applications.
METHODOLOGY: This research was conducted using a library method and a descriptive-analytical method. First, verses related to medicinal plants and the treatment of diseases were extracted from the Divan of prominent Azerbaijani poets, then the obtained data were compared and analyzed with reliable sources of traditional Islamic-Iranian medicine and modern research in the field of herbal medicine.
FINDINGS: Azerbaijani poets had a precise knowledge that went beyond general awareness of medicinal plants, temperaments, and treatment methods, and they consciously used this knowledge to serve thematic development, similes, and artistic metaphors.
CONCLUSION: The remarkable correspondence between the medicinal properties mentioned in the poems and reports from traditional medicine sources indicates a deep connection between the poetry of this period and the medical knowledge and common therapeutic experiences of the time.
