[Avodah] Mitzvat Talmud Torah

[Liron Kopinsky]

Hi all,
I am currently learning the 8th Perek of Yuma (PehDaled amud Alef) where
there is a sugyah which deals with a cure that a non-jewish (female) doctor
prescribed to be taken on shabbat. A few amoraim have different opinions
about what that cure is (yeast water, olive oil and salt, yeast itself,
olive oil, and salt etc.).
The question raised is "Is there a kiyum of mitzvat talmud torah by learning
the sections of Gemarrah that have cures that don't apply today?" The sugyah
as a whole (whether you can take medicines on shabbat etc.) obviously is,
but is there for studying the refuot themselves?

Kol Tuv,
~Liron
