The worldview of Zoroastrianism, embodied in its artistic, philosophical, and ideological source “Avesta,” contains not only religious teachings but also important information about the health-care system, sanitary-hygienic rules, and medical culture of ancient humanity. In particular, the section “Vendidad” is among the earliest sources related to preserving human health, preventing diseases, medical ethics, and the system of training physicians. This article analyzes the medical knowledge found in the sacred book of the Zoroastrians, the “Avesta,” and highlights the influence of Zoroaster’s teachings on the development of medicine in Central Asia.
