Medical
Medical (general)
coma/vegetative state
"Şuur ve beyin için Adana’da bitkisel ilaçlar yaptırılmıș…,” is the phrase which appears in the document. The individual in question has been in a coma, and even herbal remedies have been tried in order to bring the patient around. "Şuur ve beyin" seems redundant to me. Is it "mind and body?" Please advise.

Comment: "Thank you very much. I think "consciousness" makes the most sense, given the context and the fact that the person has been in a coma."

Note from asker:
| "Conscience" means something entirely different in English: the inner sense of right and wrong, or a person's ethical/moral center. Did you mean "consciousness," which means "the state of being conscious, aware of one's surroundings, etc."? Thanks very much for your reply. |

mind and brain
Well, other answers are just right about "şuur" which correctly means "consciousness", however, what it is meant here that mind and brain. In fact, original text is meaningless and absurd. I would not buy anyting with this kind of advertisement.
Note from asker:
| My apologies. "Mind and body" was a typo on my part. I meant to say "mind and brain." Thank you very much for your reply. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Erkan Dogan
: Even though I agreed with "consciousness" earlier, I believe "mind" is the exact meaning for the meaning requested. And I agree, the original text is a good sample of absurd and bad practice of Turkish.

: since "the individual in question has been in coma", it seems obvious that the usage of "şuur" is correct; mind covers both the consciousness and unconsciousness
