Özet
When the medical history of the world is examined, it is seen that the source of the treatments is based on beliefs and drugs based on reason and logic. Belief-based therapies, which continue as much as modern medicine and continue to exist clearly and sometimes secretly as well as modern medicine, are called folk medicine and the drugs made in this way are called folk medicine. In the scope of the study, alternative treatment methods applied by the physicians who have received medical education in the treatment of some diseases were emphasized and the use of folk medicine practices with modem treatment methods was discussed. In this study, seven Turkish medical texts written between 16th -17th centuries (Ecza-i Lokman Hekim, Enva-i Emraz, Ilm-i, Tibb, Kitab-i Tercume-i, Tezkire-i Davud Fi Ilmu 't-Tibb, Mecma u 'l-Mucerrebat, Sifau 'l-Fuad Li-Hazret-i Sultan Murad, Tuhfetu'l-Eribi n-Nafia Li 'r-Ruhani Ve 't-Rhhani Ve 't-Tabia) and postgraduate studies were conducted on the basis of folk beliefs their treatments and practices were tried to be identified and classified. The reason for choosing this century interval is that the medical texts written during this period were not examined in terms of folk beliefs and treatments. As a result of the study, it was found that the treatments for folk beliefs were intensified in diseases and conditions such as giving birth, abortion, protection from abortion, sexuality, preventive medicine, speech of children as soon as possible, determining the sex of the baby, madness and epilepsy. hi addition to this, it was determined that there is a folk belief that whether patients who are bedridden or not in intensive care for a long time will survive. In the medical texts, it was determined that folk belief based treatments, healing prayers, magic, clothing and materials were used in animals and plants. Magics are also made to combine or separate. However, physicians who know these magics suggested that the magics made for separation are not good and should be avoided as much as possible. In the medical texts that we examine, apart from the treatments related to diseases, there are also practices depending on folk beliefs such as falling in love, product blessing, reputation among people, not getting tired of walking and working, whether or not the patients who will remain in intensive care and long-term bedridden. It is thought that these may indirectly enter treatment with folk beliefs and concern health. Because being loved and counted among people, preserving energy while working, fertile products can save people from disease by making them happy. Otherwise, people may suffer from sorrow and sadness. The results obtained based on folkloric medicine practices determined from the 16th and 17th century medical texts are intended to contribute to studies on Turkish folk beliefs, folk medicine as well as traditional Turkish medicine. It is hoped that the study will fill a gap in terms of century in order to determine the exact results of Turkish medicine and the national and quoted elements in Turkish folk medicine.
