SELLEST OSAST
Dr. S introduces the “When Science Met Soul” series with an overview of major ancient medical traditions and the shared premise that humans are an integrated body–mind–soul system with an innate tendency toward balance, while disease reflects blockage or imbalance and the physician’s role is to remove obstacles rather than override healing. She contrasts this with the modern “body-as-machine” model, affirming modern medicine’s strengths in acute care while suggesting ancient systems may better frame chronic issues. She previews episodes on Mesopotamian, Egyptian (Imhotep; Ebers Papyrus), Ayurvedic (doshas, prakriti, pranayama and vagus nerve parallels), Traditional Chinese medicine (qi, meridians and fascia research), Greek/Hippocratic medicine (vis medicatrix naturae, gut focus, homeostasis), Islamic Golden Age medicine (Ibn Sina’s Canon; tabiyat; contagion; personalization), and Prophetic medicine (fasting, honey, olive oil, black seed, daily rhythm aligning with chronobiology). She closes with reflective prompts and small practice suggestions tied to whichever tradition resonates most.
