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.

Begin Ruqyah by sending Salawat (salutations) upon the Prophet (ﷺ). Recite the Ruqyah loudly, clearly and with concentration, at least 3 or 7 times.
One may recite directly into the hands, blowing into them and rubbing them over the body. One can also recite whilst placing the hands over the part of the body that is in pain.
One may recite and blow on water. Keep the mouth close to the water, breathe into it and repeatedly blow over it. This can be used for drinking and bathing. Olive oil and other Sunnah medicines can be recited upon and applied to the body.
When reciting on others, place the hand on the forehead of the affected person (mahram only), or on the part of the body in pain, recite and blow.
If one cannot recite, then Ruqyah can be listened to. This should be done with full concentration. One should listen carefully and ensure that they do not fall asleep.
