What the medicine is and its historical background.
Who did prepare the first medicine? How people were treated thousands years ago? How the medicines were produced and which materials were used when producing medicine thousands of years ago? How did the medicine industry developed from ancient times to our modern era? In this work we are going to analyze all of these questions according to the results of the researches. As we know, the roots of the medicine are based upon folk remedies and it can be said that it is based upon shamanism. In ancient times, there were lots of different plants and by boiling these plants with the water they were used as remedies to the ill people or who had problems with their health. People who know about these plants most generally were the leaders of that tribe we can say the shamans of the tribe and women who were named as witch
with the Christianity.
These people were applying these plants with the knowledge that come from their families. The first register about the medicine is based on old Sumerians and as a date it can be based upon B.C 3000, when we think from general point we can say that medicine has a long history above 6000 years. Its real name was written to a tablet that is 16cm length and 9,5cm width by a doctor but the doctor’s name was unknown.
Pharmacy: Magic Medicine
There are lots of papyruses and in these papyruses there are lots of medicine descriptions and we can base today’s medicines in those medicines. In one of the most popular of these papyruses is Edwin Smith’s (B.C 1600) there are lots of information and knowledge about diagnostics, prognostics, and anatomy. We can say that maybe this is one of the most important medicines in history.
