Ibn Sina was a philosopher and physician. He had created a book known as the “Canon of Medicine”, and was called the “Father of Early Modern Medicine”. He was one of the most influential scientists in the history of medicine. It was said that Ibn Sina wrote a complete section about kidneys in his book.

Ibn Sina was born in 980 AD, in Afshona Uzbekistan. His full name, quite long, was Abu Ali Al-Husayn Ibn ‘AbdAllah Ibn Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Sina. For short, he was called Ibn Sina or the Latinized name for him, Avicenna. As Ibn Sina (Avicenna) was being raised in the Islamic golden age, he had main interests in Medicine and on the side also aromatherapy. The region he was in was Middle Eastern (philosophy) (Persian philosophy). His parents are named Abdullah and Setareh. Ibn Sina died at age 57 on the date of June 22, 1037. His tomb is in Hamedan, Iran. Ibn Sina was at least 21 at the age of his father’s death.

[Avicenna]

Since Ibn Sina had created so much, he had made a whole encyclopedia of his medicine and called it “The Book of the Cure”. In Arabic it is called Kitab Al Shifa.

Overall Ibn Sina had invented essential oil, Quarantine (a place to quarantine), stream distillation, calcium channel blocker, clinical trial, randomized controlled trial, phototherapy, pharmacopeia, clinical pharmacology, Pharmacotherapy and alternative cancer treatments

Ibn Sina divided the Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb) into five books, and only one of the books was translated into English. The rest was Arabic, but in Europe the Latins later translated it into English.



The books were about the basic medical and physiological principles including anatomy, (the study of the body) and other general main ideas including the therapeutic procedures.

As the book was so big, it included a highly elongated list of medicine (drugs). Each also explains what it does and what illness it provides benefit for.

As for others this was the dark ages at the time, but Avicenna was able to invent so much at the time, it didn’t really seem to be the dark ages for their people.



To sum up everything that has been stated so far, I would like to conclude by saying Ibn Sina was a man who focused essentially on medicine his whole life, he had many inventions and put them all together using what is today acknowledged as the book of the cure. Latins around 50 years later after the completed book had translated it into English since originally only one of the five books was translated into English and the rest was Arabic. Avicenna had no children and concentrated on medicine. Now, he has left a big impact on the world today as we still use a lot of the knowledge from the Book of the Cure.
