A Review on the Reasons of Enterance of Iranian Traditional Medical Thoughts to Greece

The author of the present article has tried to explain about the primary origin of medicine and the features of Galenic medicine at first and then has dealt with the medical principles of Zoroaster’s religion and its relation with good and evil forces and four elements. Discussing about the Achaemenian Kings’ religion, the auther of this article pointed out to their relation with them and Zoroastrian magicians. Also, it was explained how they conflicted with each other which reduces their influence and possibly made them to migrate around and as a result, transformed the base of Iranian traditional medicine and caused its transmission to neighbouring countries. In the last part of this writing a brief study of the status of Greek traditional medicine was presented. The author tried to explain how people of old Greece were deprived of principles of the medicine which was based on the four forces and tastes and and indicated that these principles which had been borrowed from elsewhere, were brought up in Galenic medicine.
