Please read: this is not medical advice
This article comes from an outside open-source Ruqyah collection. We have not written it or checked it with doctors, and we cannot say whether any remedy it describes (such as baths, leaves, herbs, oils, drinks or cupping) is safe or works for you. Some remedies can cause harm, react with medicines, or delay the treatment you need.
Never stop, reduce or change prescribed medication because of anything you read here. Physical and mental health symptoms, including seizures, unusual bleeding, problems in pregnancy, stomach pain, skin conditions, low mood or anxiety, need a doctor. Ruqyah and dua can sit alongside medical care, but they do not replace it.
