Abstract

Background: In general, the subject and treatment of diseases are one of the crucial issues that have always occupied the human mind since ancient times.

Main body: For this reason, there are various medical schools in different countries and regions around the world. On the other hand, it should be admitted that formal conventional medicine, especially in the treatment of common infectious diseases, has achieved remarkable success in many cases, which cannot be denied. Global eradication of human smallpox, human plague, and polio in many countries worldwide are successful examples in this regard. In veterinary medicine, FMD and brucellosis, which is a common disease between humans and animals, as well as Glanders, have been successfully eradicated in a significant number of developed countries, and bovine plague (Rinderpest) in some Middle Eastern countries such as Iran. The role of vaccination in controlling influenza in humans and birds, and more recently the Covid 19 pandemic, is undeniable despite the fundamental part of health practices such as adequate indoor ventilation. However, the inability of conventional medicine to treat some chronic diseases and the ability of traditional holistic medicine to satisfy a significant number of patients, as well as issues such as microbial resistance and drug side effects, has led to the continuation of traditional methods.

Conclusion: As a result, it seems reasonable to look for a framework for the mutual cooperation and synergy of formal conventional medicine and traditional medicines in the sensitive conditions of the world ahead so that the parties can maximize their capabilities in treating human and animal diseases without increasing tolls and costs
