HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD & MEDICINE
- An understanding how Muslims produced their own medicine in the past.
- Scholars of the past had knowledge of growing real medicine.
Scholars of Islamic culture worked extensively in the combined fields of botany, herbals & healing. Several scholars contributed to the knowledge of plants, their diseases & the methods of growth. They classified plants into those that grow from cuttings, those that grow from seed and those that grow spontaneously.
Muslim botanists knew how to produce new fruits by grafting; they combined the rose bush & the almond tree to generate rare and lovely flowers.
The Islamic botanical gardens contained an endless variety of plants, indigenous & exotic, cultivated for their brilliant foliage, their delightful fragrance, or their culinary & medicinal virtues. In particular, they dealt with plants in a variety of ways, which included their study from a philological perspective, but most importantly for their curative & healing properties.
