Is It Time for Jewish Medicine‪?‬

Introduction The question of whether there is a specific Jewish medicine has been debated for many centuries. The Torah does not contain medical advice, although there are allusions in it to ailments such as "leprosy." The Talmud, on the other hand, has many medical aphorisms, but the therapy it advocates does not seem relevant to modern medicine. Maimonides wrote ten medical books, but most of them relied upon Greek and Arabic medicine of Hippocrates, Galen, and Averroes.
