Natural Home Remedies for all

Natural Home Remedies for all

For thousands of years, Hakeems all over the world, especially in the Indian sub-continent, would prepare medication for intricate illnesses from ingredients that may be available in a housewife's kitchen. Without having to go to a doctor or purchase expensive medication from a pharmacy, mother's and grannies were able to prepare effective medication for different illnesses from their kitchens.

Unfortunately these remedies are slowly becoming extinct. Many of the older people have passed on and the younger generation have lost these valuable remedies. People are now forced to go to Doctors and pay exorbitant sums of money to purchase medication from Drug companies in order to regain their health. There are many illnesses that can be easily treated from home rather than having to spend large amounts of money at doctors and purchasing expensive medication which have harmful side effects.

Thus, it was in the spirit of preserving these "Home Remedies" that our beloved Ustaadh, Hadhrat Mufti Ebraheem Salehjee Saahib (daamat barkaatuhu) suggested that these remedies be preserved in a booklet which may then be beneficial to all. An effort was then made to contact the elderly women in many families to note down some of the common remedies that they used so that it could be of benefit to us all.

A special request is made to the readers to please inform us of any errors as well as other remedies that may not be included in this book. We make dua to Allah Ta'ala to accept this little booklet and make it a means of its benefit for the Ummah. Ta'limi Board (KZN), Isipingo Beach

Foreword:

I have perused this booklet in your hands and have found it to be very useful. Marhoom Hakeem Yusuf Molvi (rahimahullah) used to always tell me, "Listen to the wisdom of the old people and you will acquire knowledge which is not found even in books."

There is an Arabic saying as well سَلِ الْمُجَرَّبْ وَلَا تَسْئَلِ الْحَكِيمِ "Ask the experienced person and not the philosopher."

This book is full of tried and tested recipes which have been found useful. Here I have to sound a note of caution that if one is not sure of any ingredient helping them and it might be harmful for them, then it should be queried from a qualified Hakeem.

Secondly, if no benefit is noticed, then too a Hakeem has to be consulted. It will help a person tremendously to help themselves recover using natural methods instead of going through conventional medication which is really costly and full of harmful side effects.

I ask Allah to accept this work and make it beneficial to the Ummah. Aameen.
