Today’s medicine has found that pomegranate juice is very effective in
improving Carotid artery health and in lowering high blood-pressure.
Sufferers of the above are often advised the consumption of this fruit’s
juice for relief from their ailments.
Senna
Ab[ Ubayy t narrated that he heard the Prophet r say,
‘Recommended for you are the use of senna and honey, for indeed in
them is a cure for every illness except ‘as-s\m.’ The Prophet was asked,
‘What is ‘as-s\m?’ He replied, ‘Death.’
al-*\kim and Ibn M\jah
Asm\ bint Umays y reported that she heard the Prophet r say,
'If there was to be anything that could cure death it would be senna.'
at-Tirmidhi
Senna is a very effective natural laxative. It has been used to serve this
purpose for many centuries; even at the time of the Prophet r. Many
modern day laxatives are also prepared using senna.
Note: Henna - the dye used to colour hair, is also a type of Senna but of
a different variety.
