The Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions is a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to fundamental research based in Washington, D.C. With a special interest in the ancient Greek World, we aim to collect and document the medical literature of the most remote past, with a special interest in the uses of plants as medicine and food, which we interpret a
s the record of actual practice. We make the results of our research available to interested and qualified parts for new investigations aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ancient practice(s) for possible renewed and safe applications environmentally and economically sustainable. We aim to inform, inspire, and involve people worldwide about ancient medicine, its achievements, significance, history and seminal role through the centuries through our collections, programs, and publications. Building on fifty years of cross-disciplinary research, collecting all over the world, and disseminating accurate information, we are a resource and a research center for any individual interested in, and valuing, the legacy of ancient knowledge. Through exchanges across the disciplines we foster conversations and debates on all aspects of ancient medicine, including its recovery, tradition, interpretation, assessment, and possible safe revitalization.
