Our ancestors had a saying ‘a healthy pear does not fall down the tree’. They knew that health is the most valuable wealth in the human life. That is why they tried to prevent diseases and disorders through various methods. Avicenna (known in the country as Lukman Hekim) devoted most of his life to making medicine for different diseases and left valuable information about protecting the human health in his works.

To date, the multi-volume encyclopaedic work ‘Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan’ by our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov describes thousands of species of medicinal plants growing in our country and their benefits. This work is enough to strengthen the human body, to prevent diseases and to prolong life.
