One of interesting example is saffron (Crocus sativus) that has been mentioned by Avicenna in his famous book ‘Canon of Medicine,’ which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Leuven as late as 1650. Avicenna Canon of Medicine provides a complete system of medicine according to Experiment Based Medicine.

A functional measure, not a fairy dust of saffron.
Science in every spoonful.
In this review, we introduce the traditional uses of saffron and its pharmacological activities as described by either Avicenna in Book II, Canon of Medicine (al‐Qanun fi al‐tib) or from recent scientific studies. Modern pharmacological findings on saffron are compared with those mentioned in Avicenna’s monograph. A computerized search of published articles was performed using MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science databases as well as local references.
Most of these effects have been studied in modern pharmacology and are well documented. The pharmacological data on saffron and its constituents, including crocin, crocetin and safranal, are similar to those found in Avicenna’s monograph.
