Iran in 4th global scientific rank of medicinal herbs/health enhancement with traditional Iranian medicine
Pars Today- Secretary of headquarters for scientific and technological development of medicinal herbs and traditional medicine said that the country ranks fourth in the production of knowledge in the field of medicinal herbs and traditional medicine in the world.
Mohammad Reza Shams Ardakani, referring to the several-thousand-year record of using medicinal herbs and traditional medicine, said, "After the formation of traditional medicine faculties in 2007, we proved ourselves very successfully and with a proper speed in the field of knowledge production in the world, and since 2022 we have gained the fourth rank globally which is a very special success."
According to Shams Ardakani, the Iranian people maintain a positive view on herbal medicine shops due to their cultural and civilizational record.
This official of Iran's government continued, "The Iranian knowledge-based companies have tried well in different fields and we should now work with solidarity to increase the existing capacities. In the recent years, returning to the nature has increased in all fields. We hope that with our own efforts and usage of all potentials, we will act more successfully than before."
Shams Ardakani called the Iranian traditional medicine as "health-oriented" and said, "Many teachings of the Iranian traditional medicine are based on reforming of lifestyle and are originated in the culture of people. Thus, it enjoys a good acceptance and its services are easily accessible to people."
This Iranian official added, "Enhancement of health and reduction of diseases are in need of promoting the level of people's health awareness and changing of behavior. Today, due to the change of lifestyle, food types, inactivity and so on, despite controlling of contagious and infectious diseases, noncontagious diseases have increased.
Shams Ardakani, in the end, said that observing principles of nutrition based on traditional medicine will help preserve health.
