SELF CARE RELIEVES NHS
in the UK Conservative MP Michael Gove, has said that if we are not careful the NHS could get overwhelmed, so we will do our best in shaa allah, to promote self care so that those in need of expert medical attention can be helped.
ISLAM ADAB OF MEDICINE
Taking steps to help one’s self in terms of medicine is part of Islamic manners.
Firstly we would make duaa and ask Allah to help us get better. Illness is a way of purifying us of sins.
And there is no cure except from Allah…even if you has Allah the money in the world , the best doctors, etc, the cure is ultimately from Allah.
Secondly we should try and natural remedy. For every illness Allah has provided a cure. There is a plethora of produce including water ,honey, milk and animal produce, oils, fruit, vegetable, herbs that have scientifically proven benefits for human and animals alike. We have cupping hijama, massage, exercise, prayer is a form of exercise really if you’re standing, it’s a good stretch that raises the heart above the head. Some natural medicines, including aromatherapy oils, a can have side effects so it important to research, cross reference online, ask your doctor or health professional when in doubt OR if you are pregnant or taking medication or chemotherapy or dialysis
Thirdly used a pharmaceutical remedy, until the last 100 years these pharmaceutical remedies were tinctures and homeopathic remedies, some with haram ingredients. Over time they developed into more complex compounds; extractions, synthetic replicas of natural compounds, some still with haram ingredients, which it is important to ask or read what medication contains and any side effects.
Finally an operation if all else fails
You can see by educating ourselves with simple natural pure clean remedies we could be really helping the NHS to focus on the people who need additional help.

We would love to know what are your must have kitchen essentials… because we are a global family and different parts of the world have different plants and animals, different traditions and thinking about health and well being.
A Pakistani makeup artist taught us about the power of Ajwain seeds when you have a cough. Ajwain is a seed that is dry roasted and then milk is added with turmeric haldi and a pinch of pepper and boiled slowly till a skin forms on top of the milk and drunk with honey once it has cooled sufficiently to add the honey. Otherwise if you add honey to too hot drinks, the heat kills the beneficial enzymes in the honey… Alhamdulillah which of the favours of your lord would you deny?
