A Look at the Traditional effect of the days of the Moon
in a Traditional Syrian Medical manuscript
The Syrian 'Book of Medicine' was translated by Wallis Budge and published in 1913. It is a translation of an ancient Syrian manuscript with an unknown author. It was full of medical recipes but also contained interesting notes of theory and diagnosis.
One of the fascinating sections deals with 'Lunar Forecasts'. According to this section, various days of the Moon are lucky or unlucky, and either suitable and unsuitable for various activities. Further, prognostications could be made based on the day of the Moon. This type of knowledge, handed down over generations and from unknown origin often appears in older medical texts.
This undated text appears ancient, but also full of experienced and advanced medicinal formulas. Therefore, we have included some of the section on Lunar Forecasts in an endeavor to show the importance of Solar and Lunar cycles in some aspects of Traditional Medicine. Despite the fact that we might not generally utilize such knowledge today in Traditional Medicine practice, it is sometimes worthy to review the beliefs of our forefathers, if nothing else, to be aware that our Traditional knowledge grows and develops, and sometimes, becomes outdated. Another sign of it being well outdated is the regular recommendations regarding slaves.
