Your answer should...
Suggest
that the source was written for religious rather than
for medical reasons. Use
the source to help you do this, use of evidence should
make this point clearer.
Say
what the source DOES tell us about Oriental medicine.
You
can INFER from the source that the Muslims writing it
had knowledge of the spread of disease and some elements
of public health.
Say
that the source DOES NOT refer to ALL types of Oriental
medicine. The
Question asks how useful it is for ORIENTAL medicine.
Islamic medicine isn't really oriental medicien at all,
although some books place Arabian developments alongside
Oriental (Chinese developments). Point out that the
source doesn't say anything about Chinese or Indian
developments.
Identify
the limitations of the sources description of Islamic
medical practices. The
source is INSTRUCTIONAL. It doesn't go into any detail
about day to day medical practices not does it say what
the medical reasons, if any, there are for these rules.
Nor does the source say whether or not people followed
these rules!
