Pharmaceutical heritage is a set of scientific and practical achievements of pharmaceutical activity of mankind. Historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage is a collection of tangible and intangible evidence of the historical development of pharmaceutical science and practice, embodying a significant socio-cultural experience of humanity and preserved for transmission to future generations. Pharmaceutical and medical heritage is difficult to differentiate due to the long joint history of development and intertwining modern practices, but the separation of the professions of a doctor and a pharmacist allows us to distinguish the historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage from the end of the XVII century. Historical and cultural pharmaceutical heritage is classified into tangible and intangible, according to functional characteristics, material historical and cultural heritage is divided into movable and immovable heritage.

The fifteenth-century Ottoman physician Muhammad al-Shirwānī’s extensive encyclopedia of pharmaceutical science, Rawdat al-ʿitr (Garden of pharmacy/perfumes’), is an important source for understanding Ottoman medicine. The work includes a specific chapter about using bathtubs in urgent cases, along with self-prepared remedies. This essay contextualizes al-Shirwānī’s encyclopedia within the traditions of Arabic and Ottoman medicine. It presents the first English translation of al- Shirwānī’s chapter on bathtubs and analyses the kinds of ailments that could be treated by this technique, as well as the types of materia medica used in therapeutic preparations. Al-Shirwānī’s inclusion of an extended chapter devoted specifically to this home-based approach suggests that household medicine was emerging as an authoritative terrain of both Arabic and Ottoman medicine.
