Description
Throughout Jewish history every community had a rav who brought about cures and healing. These baalei shem — so called because their techniques often involved Divine Names in amulets — held extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs and other methods of healing.
Ancient Jewish Medicine, by Rabbi Chaim Fuchs, is a comprehensive survey of the sources: Torah, Mishnah, Talmud and Midrash, together with medieval and modern commentaries that discuss medicinal plants, flowers, animal products and metals. It covers how those practices relate to halachah, and takes in medical ethics and disease prevention along the way.
The book is the product of the combined efforts of Rabbi Fuchs and Dr. Isaac Madeb, who took an interest in Rabbi Fuchs’s work — particularly in urology, Dr. Madeb’s field — and encouraged the research and production of the volume. Written for adult readers.
