Holistic approach: Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine (TAIM)

Similar to other ancient civilizations, the Arabic world developed a centuries-old healing tradition known as Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine (TAIM). Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is the world’s first modern wellness resort based on TAIM. In March 2022, it opened its doors to offer the world the benefits of TAIM. Notably, TAIM was the first medical tradition to introduce the concept of an immune system, viewing it as the body's supreme planner. Interestingly, many Western medicines contain medicinal herbs that Arabs have used in their pure, natural form for centuries. "The Canon of Medicine" (1025), written by Persian physician and philosopher Ibn Sina (Avicenna), is a highly influential ancient text. TAIM is based on this work, which remained the standard medical reference in Europe until the 18th century. Our relatively young Western medicine owes much to TAIM, although the approaches differ significantly. TAIM employs a holistic approach to healing, integrating spirituality with regional medicine across five pillars: medicinal herbs, nutrition, body and mind therapy, spiritual healing, and applied therapies. While the term 'Islamic' might suggest a strong religious component in TAIM programs at Zulal, the resort clarifies that it is more about lifestyle than religion. Spirituality, they say, is a universal concept, whether it involves meditation, connecting with nature, yoga, or a relaxing massage. Guests are encouraged to find their own spiritual paths.
