Quranic Herbs, Different herbs benefits & usage, Acupuncture ,
Acupressure, Reflexology and Cupping, Western medicines (Allopathic)
Naturopathic Medicines & Homeopathic Medicines.
Each topic is in very easy & simple language that everyone will
understand.
If you yet not cured, you begin to recognize this fact that modern
medicine is failing its patients. Despite advances in modern medicine
and medical technology, more than ever, there are increase incidences
of cancer and diseases. You will find that you know of someone, maybe
a neighbour or a loved one, who has a life threatening disease or a
severe ailment that is not curable.
Wouldnt it be wonderful to know which remedy to use to treat for a
specific ailment?
Wouldnt it be great to know that you have more choices instead of
one, in terms of treating an illness?

Lets start this Unique book which has something different for you all.
By reading this book you will be able to know:
What is mentioned in the Holy Quran for our health problems?
What is the Islamic way of treatment for different diseases?
What was the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho
alaihe wasallam to treat patient?
How to cure different diseases by the way of modern medicines
(Allopathic medicines) and Homeopathic medicines?
No More Disease Nature is My Medicine v
What are the unique healthy benefits of Acupressure, Acupuncture
Reflexology?
What is the message of Angels of heaven towards patients?
And much more about Natural remedies.
Plants have been part of our lives since the beginning of time. We
get numerous products from plants, most of them not only good and
beneficial for our health, but also crucial to our existence. As our
lifestyle is getting techno-savvy, we are moving away from nature.
While we cannot escape from nature because we are part of nature.
What nature has stored in for us we have not yet fully explored.
We often either fear or disregard the presence and importance of
plants. Most people cannot fathom using wild edibles today, whether
for food or medicine. Likewise, most cannot be bothered to grow some
of their own plants for culinary or medicinal purposes.
The modern medical and pharmaceutical industry has dissected nature
into its parts and along the way lost so much of the whole picture.
Do You know According to National Centre for Health statistics, up to
90 percent of Americans are nutrient deficient because over use of
prescription drugs, sugar, artificial flavours, fast foods etc??
These environment factors deplete our bodies of lifesaving nutrients.
The end result has been a ghastly epidemic of illness. Western medicine
is powerless only nutrient can overcome a nutrient deficiency not
drugs.
Companies often fail to create drugs as powerful, safe and effective as
their natural counterparts. American journal published that hawthorn
(an herb) is good for heart failure, blood pressure etc and have no side
effect at all like Aspirin etc drugs have so bad side effects on body.
Most of people dont know the vast benefits of black seeds, turmeric
etc. People dont know how to find these life saving plants, It is really
vi No More Disease Nature is My Medicine
easy to get from any herbal stores.
The famous father of medicine, Hippocrates was quoted as saying:
Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine shall be they food.
Plants serve as our food. Plants have numerable healing and health
benefits. It goes to reason that plants serve an extremely significant
role in the creation of our health, Healthy eating is the best preventative
medicine. We can all benefit by spending more time in nature. By
observing the natural world, we come to know the natural world best.
The next few decades will see major changes in how we feed and heal
ourselves. We will continue to come back more and more to the natural
healing abilities of plants, whether from a preventative perspective or
in times of illness. The journey ahead will offer new potential beyond
anything weve known thus far.
If you are keen to restore your health, its not too late to start, use
Herbs as a way of life. Even medical doctors are learning that herbs
have much to offer in the way of Preventive care. Mind you, they were
not taught about the use of herbs in a conventional medical school.
Today licensed physicians combine herbal medicinal practice with
mainstream practice, to provide patients with better health care. But
you need to select the physician that can combine both.
If you are someone who Interested in using herbs to improve your health,
but dont know where to start, No need to worry. This book will show
you about natural herbs which play vital role against diseases. Dont
go anywhere, because this could be the most important information
about your health youll ever read!

FOR EWO R D

This book by Dr. Muhammad S. F. Ben Hafiz Qari Altafur Rahman


with the fascinating title, No More Disease: Nature is My Medicine, is
about a useful knowledge sharing of traditional medicine. The author
has written his vast experience as an Alternative Medical Consultant
at ILAAJ UN NABAWI by writing about Allopathic, Homoeopathic
,TibbunNabawi (Prophetic Medicines), Natural Medicines,& Chinese
traditional therapies i-e Acupuncture, Acupressure & Reflexology.

Complementary medicine is a formal method of health care in most


countries of the ancient world. It is expected to become more widely
integrated into the modern medical system, including the medical
curriculum. Despite the perception of modern medicine as more
efficacious, traditional medicine continues to be practiced. More than
70% of the developing world's population still depends primarily on
the complementary and alternative systems of medicine.

Muhammad S.F has integrated the Islamic methods with nature


remedies in his book. Some of the knowledge of Medicine of the
Prophet (al-tibb an-Nabawi) is shared here where readers can explore
the Medicine of the Prophet as an alternative to modern therapies,
or as a supplement to modern medical treatment. Muslims turn to
the Quran and Sunnah for guidance in all areas of life, which may
include health and medical matters. The Prophet Muhammad once
said that "Allah did not create a disease for which He did not also
create a cure." Muslims are therefore encouraged to explore and use
traditional and modern forms of medicine, with faith that any cure is
from Allah.
No More Disease Nature is My Medicine ix
Through the combination of the findings from the scholars about the
Islamic remedies that has been practised for generations, this book
is viewed as very beneficial not only as a reference for Muslims, but
also to reference all walks of different races, cultures and religions.
You will find important and potentially life-saving information on
virtually every natural cure and natural remedy that are actually
available around us. Best of all, everything in this book is totally
comprehensible and complete.

This is an absorbing book which describes the treatment method in a


very engaging style that takes the reader on an experiential journey
of this methodology. I have a strong conviction that people will
explore the possibility of applying this method in other areas as well,
whether for a personal or professional purpose or for more interest
in information. This book should be read by everyone.

ISLAM & HEALTH

Allah (SWT) gave us endlessly favours and blessings that we cant even
count. Thanks to them we live happily; without them we would have
perished instantly. And even if we spend all our lives for praising Allah just
for one single blessing, we wouldnt be able to thank Allah properly.
Our health is the most important favour and one of the greatest blessings
of Allah on us. This body of ours is a great and superb creature. There are
many organs inside and outside of our body - billions of cells and tissues,
extremely well-ordered systems and mechanisms, continuous and orderly
functions and progresses, biological phenomena and activities that repeat
themselves continually in perfect order, our mysterious and marvellous
brain, tireless heart, fine nervous system, circulatory systems, physics
laboratory lungs, chemical factory liver, kidneys that contain millions of
filters, bone structure that is an engineering marvel, layers of assorted
muscles that cover all these, skin, eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell,
sweet speaking tongue, organs to produce new generations, endless mind,
limitless and countless senses, wonderful system of reflection, discovery,
inventions, arts....
How come all these go like clockwork and their harmony doesnt
become depraved, nothing goes wrong; and how come we stay healthy
for many years without having a breakdown? How come extensiveness,
vastness, deepness, abundance, intricacy, complexity, interdependence,
partnerships and togetherness of this magnitude lasts for life in a perfect
manner? Because of these difficult conditions, misfortune, breakdowns,
and sickness should be ordinary happenings and expected to happen any
moment. But its not so!
Health is a very amazing state, an extraordinary miracle! We personally
have nothing at all; there is absolutely someone who is guarding and
taking care of us. Every single moment we exist and live with the help
of the Almighty and Absolutely-Wise Allah - every single moment we are
repaired and re-created, until such time as He wishes.
No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 1
But there is also death beside life, and sickness beside health. There IS!
Because it is necessary and full of wisdom! Sickness is the messenger of
death, and the reminder of the Hereafter! What would have happened to
the world if death never existed? Death is a discharge, a salvation; a new and
different birth; the end of the longing and meeting again the Beloved.
Health is a blessing, sickness is an examination. It is necessary to praise
Allah for the blessings, and to show endurance during examinations.
Many people dont know but sickness is a blessing according to Islam for the
faithful servant, for a patient and well-behaved Muslim who doesnt flare up
or rebel, and for those adept and graceful servants who know that sickness
comes from Allah, and who dont oppose the destiny or complain.
There are many rewards and recompenses for the sick, their sufferings are
compensated with spiritual honour and gifts. Our Prophet Muhammad Sel
lel laho alaihe wasallam said:
The sick persons sleep is considered as worship and his moaning as
litany of praise to Allah. He is rewarded as though he is performing his
usual prayers when he was healthy although he is unable to do so now.
His supplications are accepted, his sins are forgiven, all his mistakes and
wrong-doings recorded in his book are deleted, and he is told `Very well,
start your new life with an absolutely clean book!
Sickness wakes people up from heedlessness, guides them to give up
their sins, makes them think about the Hereafter, leads them to pious
foundations; makes them more thankful to Allah, and teaches them the
necessity of taking better care of their health and making better use of their
life - something they didnt realize before, teaches them to understand
other sick and pained people better, to feel sorry for them and to help
them; and rises their ranks and degrees higher in the Hereafter.
From an Islamic perspective health is viewed as one of the greatest
blessings that ALLAH SWT has bestowed on mankind. It should be noted
that the greatest blessing after belief is health, as narrated in the following
Hadith:
The final messenger of ALLAH SWT, Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho

2 No More Disease Nature is My Medicine


alaihe wasallam mounted the pulpit, then wept and said, Ask Allah (swt)
for forgiveness and health, for after being granted certainty, one is given
nothing better than health. (Related in Tirmidhi)
Health is indeed a favour that we take for granted. We should express
gratitude to ALLAH SWT for bestowing us with health, and we should try
are up most to look after it. ALLAH SWT has entrusted us with our bodies
for a predestined period of time. He will hold us to account on how we
looked after and utilised our bodies and good health. Prophet sellel laho
alaihe wassallam said there are two blessings that time many of the
people lose out on, good health and free time
The preservation of this blessing can only be achieved through taking good
care of ones health and taking every measure to maintain and enhance
it. With this in mind every Muslim should make sure they undertake all
necessary actions which are conducive to the preservation of good health.
Healthy living is part and parcel of Islam, introduced with the inception of
Islam more than 14 centuries ago. Furthermore, the Quran and the Sunnah
outline the teachings that show every Muslim how to protect his health
and live life in a state of purity. Numerous examples in Islam instruct its
followers to live a healthy life, a selection are summarised below.
1) Prayer
In Quran Allah SWT deprecates those who are careless in their prayers
offer them only for show. The blessed Prophet told us Prayers are
certainly health promoting. Although the real purpose of prayers is to
worship Allah yet there is a large number of additional benefits also.
Prayers help release the burden of the soul and expand the chest. In
prayers, which are the best deeds, the heart gets connected to Allah
the Almighty. The Prophet (PBUH) said, as narrated by Ibn Majah and
Al Hakim on the authority of Thawban; Be it known to you that your
best deeds are prayers.
a) Prayers are surely a healing for the soul. It is confirmed that the
Prophet, if afflicted with grief, would hurry to prayer: prayer
forbids indecency and dishonour. Allahs remembrance is greater;
and Allah knows the things you.

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 3


b) Prayers help adjust the rhythm of the body. Modern scientific
research proved that Moslems prayer timings correspond with that
of the physiological activities of the body. Dr. Zaheer Rabeh indicates
that cortisone is the hormone of activity that starts to increase
acutely in the human body with the approach of dawn time, and is
associated with the rise in blood pressure. Man feels greatly active
after dawn prayer between 6-9 a.m. Thus the time after prayer is
considered the best time for hard work and seeking livelihood.
c) Qailulah (nap) before (Asr) (afternoon) prayer is a short sleep was
mentioned in the Prophets saying;Get help with Suhoor (meal
before dawn time) for fasting, and with Qailulah for Qiyam (night)
prayer. He also said; Have Qailulah, as satans do not have it.
It has been proved that the human body at this period generally
encounters a hard time, where an increase occurs in an anesthetic
chemical substance secreted by the body that has the effect of
tranquilizing, and incites man to sleep. The body, after 7 hours of
early wake-up, is at the lowest levels of concentration and activity.
So if man ignores sleeping at that time, much of his neuromuscular
compatibility decreases all day long.
d) Asr prayer has good effect on heart system of the body
e) When Maghrib time comes so at that time , melatonin increases
encouraging relaxation and sleep, and causing laziness to the
body.
f) Thats why it is mentioned in hadith that sleep early after doing isha
as early sleeping has good effect on mental & Sexual matuarity.
e) Prayer is prevention from varicose. A leg varicose is a common
dysfunction in the legs veins.
f) Prayer is a regular simple exercise at different times, and helps
keep the viability of the body specially the cardiac system and
blood circulation.
g) Prayer is a psychological therapy that helps calm the soul and
relieve all tension for many reasons.

2) Exercise
4 No More Disease Nature is My Medicine
The Prophet (Sellel laho alaihe wasalam) rode horse, donkey and camel
regularly and kept himself active. As we eat three times daily we need
exercises to lessen the cholesterol in the body which increases in the
blood after meals, thickens it and leads to the deposition of slit in the
arteries.
They help the circulation of blood and also mitigate the bad effect
of cholesterol. The performance of prayers put almost all muscles of
the body in action. Prayers play a vital role in acting as a preventive
measure against heart attack, paralyses, premature senility, dementia,
loss of control on sphineters, diabetes mellitus etc. The traditions of
Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho alaihe wasallam teach us to cherish
good health and realise its true value as one of ALLAH SWTs countless
bounties.
3) Ablution and health purity
Allah SWT says; O believers, when you stand up to pray, wash your faces,
and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet up
to the ankles. If you are defiled, purify yourselves (Quran, 5:6)
Ablution is not just cleaning the external organs several times a day
before prayers. The psychological and spiritual impact felt by the
Muslim after ablution is deeper than words can express, particularly
when perfecting ablution. Ablution plays an important role in the life
of the Muslim, as it keeps him always in a state of vitality, vigilance and
fitness. The Prophet (SAWW) said; He who performs ablution, and
perfects it, his sins would come out from his body, till they pass out
from under his nails.
a) Rinsing the mouth. Modern science has proved that rinsing the
mouth protects the mouth and throat from inflammation and the
gums from suppuration (pyorrhoea). It also protects and cleans
teeth by removing food remnants.
b) Sniffing the nose. Washing and sniffing the nose strongly helps
keep the nostril clean and free of inflammation and germs, thus
reflecting positively on the health status of the whole body.
c) Washing the face and the two hands up to the elbows is of a great

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 5


benefit in removing dust and microbes as well as sweat from the
surface of the skin.
d) Washing of limbs with massaging at every ablution help strengthen
the blood circulation.
e) Performing ablution protects the surface and internal layer cells of
the skin from the harmful impact of ultra violet rays.
4) Diet & Nutrition
Various verses and texts within Islam promote the eating of healthy
wholesome food and eating in moderation. ALLAH SWT clearly states
in the Quran:
Eat of the good things which We have provided for you. (2:173) Eat of
what is lawful and wholesome on the earth. (2:168)
A healthy nutritious diet must also be balanced, in order to maintain
the balance that ALLAH SWT has established in all things, this is
addressed in the Quran, ALLAH SWT says:
And He enforced the balance. That you exceed not the bounds; but
observe the balance strictly; and fall not short thereof.
The Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho alaihe wasallam constantly
preached the message of health; he knew that healthy bodies carry
healthy souls. On one occasion he (SAWW) said: The example of the
stomach is like a pond. There are outlets in all directions from it. If the
stomach is healthy then the rest of body will be healthy.
The Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho alaihe wasallam taught how we
need to be careful with the food we eat. He said! Always keep covered
the food so its protected from airborne germs.
A Muslim eats in one intestine (stomach) whereas a non believer eats
in seven intestines.
It has been proved beyond doubt that over eating is the root of many
diseases and also responsible for premature senility. It produces
obesity, predisposes to dangerous diseases like diabetes, menitus,
hypertension, coronary heart disease and paralysis.

QURAN, HEALTH, & FOOD

The traditions of Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho alaihe wasallam teach us
to cherish good health and realise its true value as one of ALLAhs countless
bounties.
And when your Lord proclaimed, If you give thanks, I will give you more;
but if you are thankless, lo! My punishment is dire. (Quran 14:7)
Islams holistic approach to health includes treating our bodies with respect
and nourishing them with, not only faith, but also with lawful, nutritious
food. A major part of living life according to the Creators instructions is
implementing a suitable diet. Choosing wholesome food and avoiding the
unwholesome is essential to good health. ALLAH SWT says in the Quran,
Eat of the good things which We have provided for you. (Quran 2:172)
Eat of what is lawful and wholesome on the earth. (Quran 2:168)
The Quran contains many verses of advice about healthy eating that relate
to the interconnectedness of physical and spiritual health. Encouragement
to eat only good and pure food is often combined with warnings to
remember ALLAH SWT and avoid Satan. Healthy eating not only satisfies
hunger but also has an effect on how well we worship.
O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and
do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
(Quran 2:168)
Numerous verses of Quran mention the foods ALLAH SWT has provided for
us to nourish and maintain our bodies. It is not an exhaustive list of dietary
requirements but rather a general idea of the types of food that maintain
a healthy body and prevent illness.
He created cattle that give you warmth, benefits and food to eat. (Quran
l6:5)
It is He who subdued the seas, from which you eat fresh fish. (Quran 16:l4)
It is He who sends down water from the sky with which He brings up corn,
olives, dates and grapes and other fruit. (Quran 16:11)

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 7


In cattle too you have a worthy lesson. We give you to drink of that which
is in their bellies, between the undigested food and blood: pure milk, a
pleasant beverage for those who drink it. (Quran l6:66)
There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is
healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
(Quran 16:69)
And it is He Who produces gardens trellised and untrellised, and date
palms, and crops of different shape and taste (its fruits and its seeds) and
olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste). Eat of
their fruit when they ripen... (Quran 6:141)
and from it (the earth) we produced grain for their sustenance. (Quran
36:33)
ALLAH SWT has also provided us with a list of foods that are forbidden and
apart from these everything else is considered lawful.
Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead animals - cattle-beast not slaughtered,
blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered
as a sacrifice for other than ALLAH SWT... (Quran 5:3) ...and intoxicants.
(Quran 5:91-92)
While sweets and junk food are not forbidden they must be eaten sparingly
as part of a balanced diet, designed to maintain optimum health. Many
of the most common chronic illnesses today derive from unhealthy eating
habits. Coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and
depression have all been linked to inadequate diets. The traditions of
Prophet Muhammad Sel lel laho alaihe wasallam praise moderation as a
way of maintaining good health and the Quran stresses the need to strike
a balance between any extremes.
True believers need healthy bodies and minds in order to worship ALLAH
SWT in correct way. To maintain a sound mind, a pure heart and a healthy
body special attention must be paid to health. The heart and the mind are
nourished by remembrance of ALLAH SWT, and worship performed in a
lawful way, and the body is nourished by partaking of the good and lawful
food ALLAH SWT has provided. Attention to diet and nutrition is a part of
the holistic health system inherent in Islam.

How to get shifa from diseases?
When disease is confirmed so accept it as a will of ALLAH and Kaffara for
sin, and ask Him to remove the affliction.
And if ALLAH touches thee with affliction, none can remove it but He: if He
touches thee with happiness He has power over all things. (Quran 6:17).
Many Muslims wont seek early medical attention, contrary to the Prophets
practice and teaching. In Christianity there is a sect believing in faith healing
who have let their members die rather than go to the physician.
Usamah Bin Shareek (may Allah be pleased with him) reports I was with
the Prophet Sell el laho alaihe wasallam and some Arabs came to him asking
O Messenger of Allah (SAWW), do we take medicine for any disease. He
said, Yes, 0 You servants of Allah take medicine as Allah has not created a
disease without creating a cure except for one. They asked which one, he
replied old age.
Increase your knowledge of health and disease, of medications and side
effects. This knowledge is not the monopoly of doctors. You can have it
and use it in preventing the illness, recognizing it early when symptoms
appear, seeking early medical attention, then monitoring the course of the
disease, implementing the treatment (i.e. knowledge of diet for diabetics)
and recognizing side effects of the medicine.
Following are the true principals of SHIFA / Healing which cure both the
heart (soul) & body :
Healing by Belief (Yaqeen) that Allah Has Sent the disease & Allah is the
HEALER, & if the healing is delayed, it is by Allahs Wisdom & Hikmah
Healing by Aamaal-e-Saalehaat, Salaat, Sadaqah, Fast, Quran, Zikr,
Duaas & Ruqya, Husn-e-Khulq, abstaining from sins, Istighfaar, etc.
Healing by the foods of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe
Wasallam
Healing by the herbs of Prophet Muhammad Sell el laho Alaihe
Wasallam
Healing by HIJAMAH; which is Sunnah & the best kind of treatment in
this world

When all of the above tools are combined together, it is very difficult for
any sickness / ailment to withstand the crushing power of Tibb-e-Nabawi.
Prophetic medicine is not similar to that offered by doctors and physicians.
Prophetic medicine is indeed the effective treatment and cure provided by
the revelation and the guidance of the Prophet Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam;
that is coupled with a sound and perfect mind. In comparison, the majority
of remedies prescribed by others are built on hypothesis, observation and
experimentation.
It is a fact that many people do not benefit from Prophetic medicine
because it will help only those who acknowledge and have faith in it. Thus,
they believe that it will help them and they then submit to it. If Quran,
which is a cure for whatever the heart conceals, is not acknowledged and
accepted with faith, it will not provide a cure for the heart. The results and
comfort of spiritual therapies comes only from faith and trust in ALLAH.
They come through charity, prayer, repentance and seeking ALLAHs
forgiveness. They are aided by doing good deeds, helping the helpless
and relieving the afflicted. The causes for these cures are varied and defy
logical analysis. And the resultant cures cannot be explained by scientific
experimentation and analysis. All this is in accordance of the law of ALLAH
and nothing outside it.
When a persons heart becomes attuned to the Lord of the world, and
trusting of the Creator of all ailments and their remedies, medicines which
would otherwise be ineffective in an individual who is unbelieving and
indifferent of heart become effective,. It has been experienced that when
a mans belief is strong, his body and soul are strengthened and they co-
operate in repelling disease and overcoming it. This cannot be denied
except by the most ignorant of people.

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 17


It is important to buy vessels that are made of pure copper. Do not
buy ones that have other metals mixed in it.
Once you have bought it, rinse it out with water and pour water
into the vessel and cover it. You can use a steel or glass dish for
this.
One very easy way to distinguish between pure copper and an
adulterated version is to know that copper is a very soft metal and
pure copper is difficult to mould into intricate shapes. So if the
design of your copper vessel is very intricate, it is most probably
not made with pure copper.
14. How to Wash:
Do not use a coarse scrub to wash the inside of the vessel as it will
tend to scrape away copper from the vessel. Instead, use one half
of a lemon (you can squeeze out the juice) and rub it on the inside
of the vessel. Allow it to stand for a few minutes and then wash off
with plain water. Alternatively you could also try using baking soda
with water. Use this mixture to coat the inside of the vessel and
allow it to stand for a few minutes and rinse away the excess baking
soda.
Word of Caution:
Copper is not innately utilized by our body. That is why too much of the
metal can be detrimental.Drinking water twice or thrice in a day from a
copper vessel is more than enough to reap its benefits.
Other Sources of Copper:
Copper is present in various food sources such as liver, meat, seafood,
beans, whole grains soy flour, wheat bran, almonds, avocados, barley,
garlic, nuts, oats,beets and lentils.

HIJAMA
What Is Cupping (Hijama)?
Hijama in arabic is derived from hajm which means sucking.
Cupping / Hijama is the process of applying cups to various points
on the body and removing the air inside the cups to form a vacuum.
In terms of following the Sunnah, the cupping that is referred to is
Bleeding cupping. It is the most frequently used, oldest and often
the most effective method. A surgical instrument is used to scrape
the skin and the cup is then applied to collect blood.
Cupping (hijama) is the best remedy recommended and used by
the Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam). The Prophet (Sallallaahu
layhi Wasallam) said, Indeed the best of remedies you have is
cupping (hijama) [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. He (Sallallaahu
layhi Wasallam) also said that on the night of Israa (his ascension
to the heavens) he (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) did not pass by an
angel except that it said to him, Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah
(nation) with cupping (hijama). [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)].
This shows the importance and greatness of this Sunnah.
The Prophet Muhammad(Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, Whoever
revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practise it, s/he will
have the same reward of those who practise it without their reward
diminishing [Sunan ibn Maajah (209)].
Cupping is really effective therapy for pain and illnesses.

Cupping (hijama) is of three types:
Dry cupping (hijama) - This is the process of using a vacuum on
different areas of the body in order to gather the blood in that area
without incisions (small, light scratches using a razor).
Dry massage cupping (hijama) This is similar to dry cupping
(hijama) but olive oil is applied to the skin (before applying the cups)
in order to allow easy movement of the cups.70% of diseases, pains
and ailments are due to the blood being unable to reach certain
parts of the body. Dry cupping (hijama) and dry massaging cupping
(hijama) allow the blood to reach these places.
Dry and massage cupping (hijama) may be self-administered in the
comfort and privacy of your own home.Dry and massage cupping
(hijama) may be administered any time of the day, any day of the
week or month. There are no restrictions.
Wet cupping (hijama) - This is the process of using a vacuum at
different points on the body but with incisions in order to remove
harmful blood which lies just beneath the surface of the skin. (It is
recommended that wet cupping (hijama) is only administered by a
cupping therapist).

Cupping Is The Best Of Remedies


Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that
the Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, Indeed the best of
remedies you have is cupping. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)].
Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the
Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, If there was something
excellent to be used as a remedy then it is cupping. [Saheeh Sunan Abi
Dawud (3857), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3476)].

The Angels Recommending Cupping

the Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, I did not pass by an

102 No More Disease Nature is My Medicine


angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to
me: upon you is cupping, O Muhammad. [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah
(3477)].
In the narration reported by Abdullah ibn Masud (may Allaah be
pleased with him) the angels said, Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah
(nation) with cupping. [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)].

In Cupping There Is A Cure


Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the
Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, Healing is in three things:
in the incision of the cupper, in drinking honey, and in cauterizing with
fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) from cauterization (branding
with fire). [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5681), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah
(3491)].

Is cupping (hijama) a cure for every disease?


Cupping (hijama) is a cure for every disease if performed in its correct
time. The Prophet (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, Indeed in
cupping (hijama) there is a cure. [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. The
Prophet Messenger (Sallallaahu layhi Wasallam) said, Whoever
performs cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the
Islamic month) then it is a cure for every disease. [Saheeh Sunan
Abi Dawud (3861)].

Does Reflexology treat disease?


NO. Reflexologists do not work with a treatment orientation; rather
they are oriented to revitalizing the whole body and hence supporting
the body in its own healing process.

What can Reflexology do for me?


Reflexology is used primarily to relieve stress and tension and produce
deep therapeutic relaxation. Medical doctors agree that over three fourths
of our health problems can be linked to nervous and physical tension.
By reducing stress and tension, reflexology improves blood and lymph
circulation, strengthens the functioning of the immune system, improves

108 No More Disease Nature is My Medicine


assimilation of nutrition and elimination of toxins, and calms the nervous
system. In these ways, reflexology facilitates the bodys natural healing
processes and thereby enhances the bodys health and vitality.

Who can benefit from Reflexology sessions?


Everyone can benefit from Reflexology treatments. You do not have to
have an illness to have Reflexology. Clients who want to alleviate stress
can benefit from Reflexology. All ages can benefit from Reflexology,
including children.

What can I expect at a first Reflexology session?


Clients will be asked to fill out a health history and release form.
Parents must sign for children under the age of 18. The Reflexologist
will go over the form with the client and discuss how a session will be
tailored to their needs. Clients are encouraged to ask questions. The
first session is approximately 80 minutes, which comprises of health
history discussion, the reflexology session and answering any questions
at the end of the session. Followup sessions are 60 minutes.

have any allergies.
Please also let me know if you are pregnant.

What will I feel during a Reflexology session?


Many people find reflexology sessions, for the most part, very relaxing.
It is not uncommon for clients to fall asleep. The pressure that is applied
is always within the clients comfort range. If there are painful points
on the hands/feet, these may be signs of energy blocks or congestion
at the corresponding body point. It also could be due to footwear
affecting that part of the foot. By taking into account the needs of a
No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 109
client, a reflexologist will vary the amounts of pressure on different
areas.

way. Most people noticed that they have more energy, and better
elimination, sleep better, and have a sense of well being. Please note

meridian energy channels and that the therapy improves the flow
of Chi by reducing or eliminating blockages.Reflexology focuses on
working and holding the reflex points affecting the nervous system
connected to the whole body.

Acupressure
What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is often called acupuncture without the needles. Instead
of needles, acupressure involves the application of manual pressure
(usually with the fingertips) to specific points on the body.

How to Administer Acupressure:


Use deep, firm pressure to massage and stimulate each point.
When massaging acupoints, try to relax in a comfortable position,
close your eyes, and breathe deeply.

number of times a day.
Besides massaging these points on yourself, anyone can also help
massage these points for you.

withdrawn on inhalation.

Duration of Needling:
Needles are usually left in position for 10-30 minutes in conditions such
as rheumatism, muscle pain, arthritic lameness etc. Occasionally the
vet may be too busy to wait for up to 30 minutes until the needles are
withdrawn. In these cases the patient instructed to twirl the needles
for 10 seconds every 2-4 minutes, until 10-30 minutes have elapsed
and to remove the needles. (In this case, disposable needles are used).
In some cases, for instance rhinitis, conjunctivitis, shock etc, duration
of needling can be very short, 10-60 seconds.

magnesium and protein which are all essential for healthy bone growth
and development.
Adequate consumption of milk and dairy from early childhood and

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 149


throughout life can help to make the bones strong and protect them
against diseases like osteoporosis (a debilitating, brittle bone disorder)
in later life.

Teeth
The amounts of calcium and phosphorous in milk and dairy products
are also beneficial for the development and maintenance of healthy
teeth.The most abundant protein in milk is casein and is protective as it
forms a thin film on the enamel surface which prevents loss of calcium
and phosphate from the enamel when the teeth are exposed to acids
in the mouth.

Blood Pressure
An increasing number of studies suggest that consuming 3 portions of
dairy each day, along with 5 portions of fruit and vegetables as part
of a low salt diet can reduce high blood pressure in both adults and
children.

Cardiovascular disease
Several studies have linked milk and dairy consumption with a reduced
risk for cardiovascular disease.

had fewer heart attacks than those who had little or no milk in their
diets.
Studies have shown that high calcium intakes may reduce high levels of
bad cholesterol in the blood, and increase low levels of good cholesterol
both of which are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

effect on risk of both colorectal and breast cancer with increased
intakes.

1.5 glasses of milk per day or more, had 35% lower risk of the disease
than those who had a low milk intake of less than 2 glasses per week.

those who drank milk as children and continued to do so as adults,
had a lower risk of developing breast cancer.Calcium and a naturally
occurring fat in dairy products known as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
have been suggested as protective components in colon cancer.

Hydration

Healing Properties of Juices


If youre not big into fruits and vegetables, its a good way to get
them in,
Aim to eat two whole fruits and three to four vegetables a day.
Choose them in different colors, so you get a good mix of vitamins
and minerals.

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 171


When you juice, you dont get the fiber thats in whole fruits and
vegetables. Juicing machines extract the juice and leave behind the
pulp, which has fiber.
So you dont miss out on the fiber, you can add some of the pulp back
into the juice or use it in cooking.
There are many health benefits of drinking freshly juiced fruits and
vegetables, and its a great way to add nutrients from the fruits
or vegetables that you normally wouldnt eat. Fruit and vegetable
juices retain most of of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals
(phytonutrients) that would be found in the whole versions of those
foods. These nutrients can help protect against cardiovascular
disease, cancer and various inflammatory diseases, like rheumatoid
arthritis. Valuable compounds called flavonoids and anthocyanins
are abundant in a variety of fruits and vegetables and guard against
oxidative cellular damage, which comes from everyday cellular
maintenance and is exacerbated by exposure to chemicals and
pollution.

Note:
Fruit juice, in particular, is a highly concentrated source of fruit sugar.
This can raise your blood sugar quickly, and thats why often juices are
not recommended for people with type 2 diabetes.

pineapple is high in enzyme bromelain, which can literally digest not

lung and sinus infections and constant need for antibiotics.

Fruit and vegetable juices may be divided into six main types
(i) Juices from sweet fruits such as prunes, raisins and grapes.
(ii) Juices from sub-acid fruits like apple, plum, pear, peach, papaya,
apricot and cherry,
(iii) Juices from acid fruits like orange, tangerines, lemon, grapefruit,
strawberry and pineapple.
(iv) Juices from vegetable fruits, namely, tomato and cucumber.

180 No More Disease Nature is My Medicine


(v) Juices from green leafy vegetables like cabbage, celery, lettuce,
spinach, parsley and watercress.
(vi) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato
and radish.
Juices from sweet fruits may be combined with juices of sub-
acid fruits, but not with those of acid fruits, vegetable fruits or
vegetables.

Rules for mixing different fruits or vegetables:


1. Juices from sub-acid fruits may be combined with juices of sweet
fruits, or acid fruits, but not with other juices.
2. Juices from acid fruits may be combined with those of sub-acid
fruits or vegetable fruits, but not with other juices.
3. Juices from vegetable fruits may be combined with those of acid
fruits or of green leafy vegetables, but not with other juices.
4. Juices from green leafy vegetables may be combined with those of
vegetable fruits or of the root vegetable, but not with other juices.
5. Juices from root vegetables may be combined with those of green
leafy vegetables, but not with other juices.
A proper selection of juices in treating a particular ailment is very
essential. Thus, for instance, juices of carrot, cucumber, cabbage
and other vegetables are very valuable in asthma, arthritis and
skin disease, but juices of orange and mosambi aggravate their
symptoms by increasing the amount of mucus.
To make juicing tastier many beneficial herbs, spices and condiments
may be added according to taste. All are very helpful in cleansing the
system and fighting bacteria and cancer. Particularly; organic apple
cider vinegar, pure organic honey, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne
pepper, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, basil, oregano, thyme, coriander,
fennel, parsley, dill, low fat live yoghurt and coconut milk.

No More Disease Nature is My Medicine 181


Note:
When on a raw juice therapy, the prescribed juice should be drunk
every three hours. One can thus take juices five to six times a day.
A warm glass of water mixed with lemon juice, one teaspoon of
honey, a dash of vinegar plus a small pinch of cayenne pepper may
be taken first thing in the morning on arising to aid with the toxin
cleanse.
Thereafter, the prescribed juice may be taken at 3 hourly intervals.
The quantity of juice on each occasion may be 250 ml on the first
day.
This quantity may be increased by 50 ml each succeeding day till
one takes 600 ml on each occasion. The juice diet can be continued
for 30 to 40 days without any ill effects. The patient should take
adequate rest during the raw juice therapy.
Raw juices act as a cleansing agent and start eliminating toxins and
morbid matter from the system immediately. This often results in
symptoms such as pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea, loss of weight,
headache, fever, weakness, sleeplessness and bad breath.
These reactions, which are part of the cleansing process, should
not be suppressed by the use of drugs. They will cease when the
body is able to expel all toxins.
