In the recent years، the World Health Organization recommends traditional medicine in combination with current medicine for human health improvement. One of the vital elements of traditional Iranian medicine،is the concept of prevention that is health maintenance by assiostance of six tools. One of these tools which plays an important role in life style correction، is sleep and wakefulness. Existence of moisture in the brain is the reason of sleeping. From traditional Iranian medicine point of view of، arousal is a consciousness stimulation for all of body organs. Method of research in this study is a kind of library one by which evaluation of references of Traditional Iranian Medicine such as: Hefzoseha naseri، Hefzoseha naserolhokama، zakhire kharazmshahe، Jameosharheyn and Canon، has been conducted. Since change in sleep and wakefulness can change the quality and temperament in human body، a change toward health or illness will also be possible. Therefore، changing the six tools such as sleep and arousal is very important in traditional Iranian medicine. We discuss sleep and wakefulness as a variable in age and various geographic areas as two indices. Regarding the conducted study and the importance of appropriate sleep and wakefulness toward health maintenance، we can conclude that sleep from traditional Iranian medicine point of view،in different individuals and conditions like various geographic regions، is not recommended the same. Interpretation of a proper pattern of sleeping for people in different ages and geographic regions، for prevention from diseases and health maintenance، has a great importance in traditional Iranian Medicine

Preventive medicine is the most important way to health preservation and “Resaleh Zahabieh” is the oldest medical text and first book in preventive medicine and health preservation that was written in Islamic world and by one Muslim. This text has unique traits in container. «Resaleh Zahabieh» is very summery، but contains the most health preservation subjects. But nutrition is core of this text. Nutrition is one of the six principles of health preservation subjects in TIM. In Islamic training، the regard of eating and drinking principles has a characteristic position. Unsuitable nutrition is one of the most important etiologies in many diseases like as DM، DLP and CVD. On traditional medicine opinion، unsuitable nutrition is a main element in diseases، physiopathology، too. In this article، nutritional subjects on «Resaleh Zahabieh» have been studied and tried to present in format of one coherent pattern.

The current study is a review (collection) study. In the beginning، various versions and explanations of “Resaleh” were collected. Text of “Resaleh” on Behar version compare with Khatoon Abadi version. Then، nutritional subjects were drawn out and translated. To better understanding the terms and phrases، reliable TIM books and the explanations were used. Finally، nutritional subjects were categorized.

Importance of eating and drinking planning، traits of an appropriate nutrition (quantity and quality of diet، eating form and sequence observation in feeding)، drinking instruction، relation between diet and other human activities (like as sleep، cupping، travel and intercourse) and relation between diet and diseases are the results، topics of this research.

“Razavi dietary pattern” can introduce a new pattern in prevention and treatment of nutritional based diseases.

Pain is the first sign of many diseases and is the most common cause of cosulting the doctor. Throughout the history، physicians have been trying to find a rapid and certain way of relieving the pain. In this study، pain mechanisms including variable intemperament and loss of continuity were analyzed from Iranian traditional medicine perspective. Furthermore، sedative drugs were categorized into true and untrue drugs. True drugs tend to overcome diseases and promote recovery، while the untrue drugs lead in reliving the pain temporarily with two mechanisms either moistening and to put to sleep or narcosis. The indications and the method for using these drugs are determined by the severity of the pains، the patient’s tolerance، and the involved organ. It seems that the recognition of the main cause of pains with different origins and the true drugs to relive them can decrease the use of sedative and narcotic drugs which are expensively consumed orally or as an intravenous injection.
