In the past the Arabs were adroit in the use and preparation of medicinal herbs.
The following are some recipes they used:
- For colic, drink boiled sage.
- For cleaning the stomach, drink boiled chamomile.
- For cleaning the lungs and for colds, drink boiled thyme.
- For reducing blood-pressure drink boiled olive leaves.
- For diarrhea, drink tea and mint or sage and mint.
- For retention of urine, drink boiled parsley or eat it.
- For kidney stones, drink boiled parsley or eat it raw.
- For helminthiasis squash seeds are eaten raw or a colocynth plant suppository is used.
- For snake bite garlic is rubbed on the place of the bite or it is sucked and spat several times.
- For hoarseness a small amount of linen seeds is roasted, pounded, garbled and mixed with two spoonfuls of honey and one spoonful of ghee or butter. A spoonful of it is taken in the evening and another in the morning.
