HISTORY OF DISTILLATES AND MEDICINAL PLANTS AND THEIR PROPERTIES

Author: Fatemeh H.

The first use of medicinal plants in the Middle East dates back to the Paleolithic. Travelers and merchants introduced the Greek and Roman treatments to Chinese and Indian physicians, who mixed and practiced these practices with their own. But later, with the establishment of the Crusades, Greek (Islamic) medicine also found its way to European medicine. It should also be said that the production of sweat, including rose and rose-making in Iran is very old and has many uses, such as rose water to perfume people They used it and used it for cooking food and sweets (halva, rice sweets, yellow flakes, minced stew, rice milk) and also used other distillates, for example, mint juice was mixed with slices of lemon and in summer They were used to prevent heatstroke and quench thirst, but today these healthy and natural drinks have been forgotten and replaced by carbonated drinks that eventually cause obesity, high blood sugar and tooth decay. How good it is to live in a time of modern and industrial escape from the lives of our ancestors who lived healthy and without the worries of various diseases.
