Traditional Arabic-Islamic medicine at the Zulal Wellness Resort
- Maria Kraft
At Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, the ancient wisdom of Traditional Arabic Islamic Medicine (TAIM) is combined with contemporary scientific knowledge to create a transformative journey to holistic wellbeing.
Traditional Arabic-Islamic medicine (TAIM) is a wellness system deeply rooted in the historical and cultural landscape of the Arab world. Its most famous pioneer, Ibn Sina – better known in the West as Avicenna – formulated the “Canon of Medicine” in 1025 AD. This monumental text emphasizes the balance between body, mind and soul, achieved through exercise, mindfulness, nutrition and adequate rest.
"TAIM combines an ancient healing philosophy with modern scientific knowledge to restore the balance of life."
The centuries-old wisdom is lived in a modern context: over 250 medicinal herbs such as Al Sidr and Neem tree pastes, camel milk enrichments and Tadleek oil are used to repair the body-mind connection and restore the balance of life.
Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som thus integrates traditional healing methods with modern precision medicine and focuses on the harmonious balance of body, mind and soul. Six wellness modalities – nutrition, fitness, spa, physiotherapy, holistic health and aesthetics – are seamlessly integrated with TAIM.
