Earthquakes are among the most damaged events in our country. It is of great importance to take precautionary measures in order to reduce the damage caused by earthquakes caused by the rupture of fault lines. Although it becomes much easier to take precautions with the advancement of technology, these measures are unfortunately not taken enough. It is seen that Ibn-i Sina, who is known for his explanations in the field of medicine, worked not only in medicine, but also in natural disasters and natural events.
Among the works of Ibn-i Sina is the earthquake he suffered as ‘Zelzel’. Ibn-i Sina warned about what to pay attention to before and after the Zelzel, which he named based on the Qur’an centuries ago.
“ZELZEL” WARNINGS OF IBN-I SINA
Stating that earthquakes occurred centuries ago with the change in the theoretical structure of nature, Ibn-i Sina said that the spaces should be designed accordingly.
Underlining that geography is not suitable for spaces depending on height, the ideas of Ibn Sina were applied by Mimar Sinan.
He developed the ferrous spring systems in diagonal floors and masonry. He underlined that these systems do not prevent the shaking of the spaces, but prevent them from collapsing.
These ideas of Ibn Sina are still followed by many scientists today. Ibn-i Sina warned about the spread of diseases after Zelzel, that is, after the earthquake.
He stated that in order to prevent epidemics, there should be mixtures of mint, lavender and lemon juice at home.
Sina, who said that these mixtures are effective in preventing germs and viruses, said that taking the precautions of cleaning after the earthquake is effective in preventing diseases.

When he recommended herbal mixtures in healing books, he also drew attention to health after natural disasters. In these cases, he suggested that the most powerful foods in alternative medicine are lemon and grape paste.
He underlined that lemon, which calms shock and panic moments, is effective in balancing the blood sugar, while grape paste is effective in viruses.
