Georgian folk medicine
Georgian traditional medicine originated at the crossroads of the East and West and therefore integrates the principles of both medical traditions.〔(Ramaz Shengelia: Study of the History of Medicine in Georgia, p.1 )〕 On a scale between tribal level Folk medicine and highly institutionalized Chinese and Unani Traditional medicines, Georgian traditional medicine ranks closer to the better institutionalized and formalized end of the scale. Some ancient Georgian Folk remedies made it to the modern formulations and are commercially distributed in form of modern drugs, mostly Petrolatum based ointments.
==Background==
Anthropological data suggests that Paleolithic Cro-magnon people that dwelt on the territory of modern western Georgia may have known of some sort of primitive ointment made from animal brains mixed with fat.〔Archeological Evidence to Ancient Georgian Medicine (). Georgian.〕 Classical Greek mythology suggests that ancient Kolkhs (Colchis people) had practiced somewhat highly developed medicine that must have impressed the Mycenaean Greek (Minyan) travelers at the time. Some historians of medicine suggest that the modern medical science's principle "Contraria contrariis curantur" (opposite cures the opposite) dates back to ancient Kolkhs and their healer and sorceress princess Medea, acquiring its final form in the classical Greek and eventually in the modern medicine.〔(Ramaz Shengelia: Study of the History of Medicine in Georgia, p.2 )〕 Georgian popular tradition even attributes the origins of the term Medicine solely to Medea's name. In fact, the term likely stems from the Indo-European root MA and MAD, “and its more familiar hypothetical form MED, meaning to think or to reflect, to give a consideration or care to” - still, possible relation between the name of Medea and the term Medicine cannot be decisively denied.〔Thelma Charen: “The Etymology of Medicine”, Bull Med Libr Assoc. 1951 July; 39(3): 216–221.()〕
