Abstract

The revival of Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) in modern healthcare represents a resurgence of ancient healing practices rooted in the cultural and scientific heritage of Iran. This abstract explores the historical foundations, key principles, current applications, and potential contributions of TPM to contemporary healthcare. TPM, influenced by Greco-Roman, Persian, Indian, and Islamic medical traditions, emphasizes holistic approaches to health, personalized medicine based on individual constitution (Mizaj), and the balance of bodily humors (Akhlāṭ). Herbal medicine, dietary regulations, and lifestyle modifications are core therapeutic modalities in TPM, supported by centuries of empirical evidence. Despite facing challenges such as standardization and integration into conventional healthcare systems, TPM's resurgence underscores its potential in addressing modern health challenges and promoting integrative medical practices globally.
