Formula A1, A2 and A3
Mahnoor Qureshi
Tibb-e-Nabawi, Healing by ISLAM
Assalam O Alaikum,
Kheer &
massage oil are good enough.
A1 is extremely hot natured blend, does not suit all patients, so I don’t recommend it now to anyone, and A2 was in fact the herbal formula for making massage oil.
A3 as I remember was a Cataplasm (poultice) type remedy which is called Zamaad in Arabic.
It gives relief in cases of Sciatica but again, it is hot & vigorous, some patients do not tolerate it.
See below :
===============================================================
اَللهُمَّ حَبِّبِ الْمَوتَ إِلَى مَنْ يَّعْلَمُ أَنَّ مْحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ
"a3" is for external application at painful joints, it has all the goodness & wonders of Tibb-e-Nabwi, it is the formulation of your Sahib-al-Qanoon (Ibn-e-Seena). Ground Habb al Rashad seeds (2 parts) are mixed with one part of barley's Saweeq (Sattu) & made like a bread dough in pure vinegar (you can also add some olive oil), the blessed mixture is applied as a cataplasm (poultice) wherever the patient feels pain, Ibn e Seena wrote that this Zamaad is best for Sciatica pains (Iriq al Nasa عرق النسا).
He wrote :
ينفع من عرق النسا شربا وضمادا بالخل وسويق الشعير
similar words were repeated by Ibn Al Qayyam when he wrote about Habb al Rashad
وإذا خلط بسويق الشعير والخل، وتضمد به، نفع من عرق النسا، وحلل الأورام الحارة في آخرها.
When your Zamaad is ready, apply it on your painful limb, put a small piece of polyethylene shopper bag over it & tie with a cloth like bandage, it should be done after Isha, as you have to keep the Zamaad for 3-4 hours, it is better to apply before sleep & open it in the morning at Fajar.
