Emotional healing in the medicine of the prophet

Medieval Islamic prophetic medicine is based in the power of belief. In a culture that employed both fairly comprehensive physicians trained in the theories of Greek science and practitioners of magical/folkloric techniques of the Arabian Bedouin traditions, the appearance of texts titled al-tibb al-nabawi (prophetic medicine) indicates a need existed for a specifically Islamic medical system. As a whole, prophetic medicine stresses the connection between mind and body by tracing all illness back to a lack of belief and claims that restoration of health is equivalent to a restoration of belief
