Organizer: University of Traditional Medicine
Medicine has been practiced in the territory of Armenia for thousands of years, at least from the Bronze Age, as evidenced by archeological and anthropological studies. There are written data about medicine mainly from medieval sources (Anania Shirakatsi (VII century), Mikhtar Heratsi (XII century), Amirdovlat Amasiatsi (XV century), Grigoris (XII century), etc.). However, not everything related to traditional medicine has been recorded and published; some of the medical knowledge has survived and has reached us through the folk medicine practiced in our times. The traditions preserved in folk medicine, of course, have not remained unmixed. In many places and communities, they have been influenced by modern medicine and foreign traditional medicine, which is also a worthy subject of study. Nowadays, those methods of various fields of traditional medicine are more applied, the effectiveness of which is based on scientific and experimental data. The scientific and experimental validation of certain forms of treatment is of primary importance for modern traditional medicine, given the fact that folk medicine, from which traditional medicine often derives, is sometimes associated with beliefs or includes elements of belief.
We kindly invite specialists from the most diverse fields of traditional and conventional medicine to present the results of their scientific research at this conference and/or to attend presentations of other specialists.
