文摘
One of the best remaining manuscripts is the “Canon of Medicine” fathered by Avicenna in the Islamic Golden Age [ninth to twelfth century AD]. Considering Avicenna’s role in the development of medical science in the Islamic Golden Age, we reviewed Avicenna’s point of view on sexual headache based on his famous book “Canon of Medicine”. This historical review discusses the clinical approaches applied to diagnose, classify, and treat sexual headache—specifically herbal therapy—from the viewpoint of Avicenna and Traditional Persian Medicine. The accurate observations of Avicenna give a comprehensive classified etiology of the sexual headache. The efficacy of some medicinal herbs used by him for sexual headache treatments, such as the analgesic effect of lavender, chamomile, and jasmine has been proved by current medicine; however, the knowledge of medieval physicians should be scientifically investigated even further to extend new remedial options for sexual headache.
