In their study, the authors argue that Al-Tibb Al-Nabawī (Prophetic medicine in Islam), similar to popular herbal and Ayurveda medicine, promotes a symbolic narration where "prevention is better than cure." The paper strongly argues that Islamic traditions on healthy lifestyle is largely consistent with the prescriptions of modern science and offers an unique physical and spiritual paradigm to fight toxic diseases afflicting the human body and pandemics such as COVID-19.
