@BaytAlFann A beautiful history. For complicated reasons, the practice and art of Western contemporary botanical medicine manifests primarily as a 'folk tradition.' Would you know of any voices casting light on similar currents, alive today, across the Islamic world?

@TornadoNate And relevant expertise. I once tried reaching out to Islamic medicine-makers. Why? My spine badly broken, I sought world-leaders in botanical pain-management. Surely, an East-West conference representing one of humanity’s greatest as-yet-unsung symphonies of planetary healing.
