FROM THE HISTORY OF BUKHARA FOLK MEDICINE

The most prominent representative of the doctors of Central Asia was Abu Ali Ibn-Sina (known in Europe as Avicenna), the largest doctor of the Middle Ages and one of the most prominent doctors in world history. He was born in 980 in the village of Afshana near the city of Bukhara. At the age of five, his parents transported him to Bukhara, where his studies began. From the teachers and from the books of the rich Bukhara library of the Samanids, Ibn-Sina received all the knowledge known by that time. However, Ibn Sina studied medicine deeper and most thoroughly. In his autobiography dictated by him, he said: "I took up the study of medicine, replenishing my reading with observations of patients, which taught me many methods of treatment that cannot be found in books."
