Subject:Needs Arabic-English Dictionary for Medicine/Herbs

Assalaam Aleykum,

I shall be moving soon to Cairo and whilst I am there I hope to study
the practice of natural (tibb yunani or nabawwi) medicine. My question
is, is there any dictionary (English-Arabic, Arabic-English) that can
includes terms for various herbs, medicines and other words in the same
topic.  Also, I am aware of a few books that cover the medicine of the
Prophet and Indian Sufi medicine, but is there any books, in English or
Arabic, that cover Arab Islamic medicine?  Also, I would love to know
if anyone happens to know practicioners of traditional medicine (either
herbal or cupping) in Cairo.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
shukran jazeelan,
Rose Aslan
