"Don't Touch My Body"; Bibliography; IndexModern medicine has penetrated Bedouin tribes in the course of rapid urbanization and education, but when serious illnesses strike, particularly in the case of incurable diseases, even educated people turn to traditional medicine for a remedy. Over the course of 30 years, the author gathered data on traditional Bedouin medicine among pastoral-nomadic, semi-nomadic, and settled tribes. Based on interviews with healers, clients, and other active participants in treatments, this book will contribute to renewed thinking about a synthesis between traditional and modern medicine — to their reciprocal enrichment.BedouinsMedicineTraditional medicineArab countriesbedouin tribes.bedouin.clients.desert dweller.disease.education.healers.health approaches.health practices.illnesses.incurable disease.indigenous cultures.indigenous medicine.indigenous peoples.islam.medical beliefs.medical care.medical knowledge.medicine.middle east.modern medicine.nomadic arabs.pastoral nomadic tribes.rapid urbanization.remedy.semi nomadic tribes.settled tribes.traditional bedouin culture.traditional bedouin medicine.traditional medicine.BedouinsMedicine.Traditional medicine615.8/80899272Abu-Rabia Aref1605812MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820333703321Indigenous medicine among the Bedouin in the Middle East3931261UNINA
