Can honey be used as an alternative medicine?

Asa Soho: u knw what, only a few days ago i was also thinking about it.i was readin surah nahl and then thought how come we dont use honey as medicine where Allah said in the Quran it has cure in it.-----------------This is something we really need to think about . coz Allah mentioned it in the Quran.I guess this is the only verse in the Quran that talks about cure and disease.May be honey has all kinds of cure! scientists should experiment more on it---------Did u know, honey NEVER expires?not even after 100 years the day u buy it-------------WAITsay again? u trying to loose weight?u never told us u were a MOTIlolzMaria got caught!------------------MOTI MOTI MOTI MOTIMOTI 10000000000000000X times=))...Show more

Nicolas Cooley: Maria, your post lacks a true question-answer format. It is in the style of a missionary post. Can you fix that?Honey is effective medicinally in combination with other plant materials. Mullein flowers and leaves, when brewed as a medicinal tea, are very effective in soothing the throat and suppressing coughing. The ! minty herbs - spearmint, peppermint, sage, thyme, etc. - conta! in rather strong antisepctic compounds that are released when their leaves are brewed in a medicinal tea. Adding honey to any such tea would increase the benefit of that tea....Show more

Tobie Oshea: Shukran for the info---

Clifford Gombos: yes, Da Man, aren't u just feeling sooooo proud to be a muslim? I'm feeling great mashAllah, SubhanAllah.. wow.. Islam is just great!!!

Lyndon Mattas: Honey that is harvested in your local area is know to have certain antibodies against local allergiens, now getting another honey from a different area and taking it for medicinal purposes might not work as well. Honey mixed with other herbs can help with mild coughs and congestions as well such as honey with eucalyptus in it, very good for that, or even a small amount of peppermint and can help with sour stomach.

Maynard Reevers: NO. I hea! rd that the prophet Muhammad(saw) will not rest until his pleas to rescue his ummah from the hellfire r answered by Allah and each and every momin is rescued.

Collin Barter: Muslim men are shielded from interactions with a variety of women and are consequently socially inept when it come to dealing with women. Neanderthalic seems to be a common adjective used by women formerly involved with Muslims.Islam has plenty to cause any reasonable woman to despise it. Most westerners don't have a clue about Islam unless they get involved with a muslim, and when they see what Islam is about, they bail out on the relationship. This often leads to a psycho Muslim stalking them, because he can't handle rejection, and has an ego much larger than his brain....Show more

Samara Siewers: just be sure the honey you are referring to is in the "raw" state, not heated, or the sources is questionable.There are many commercial honey "farms" that feed liquid sugar to their bees. Best is to have your own beehive, from a trusted source, or you really know how to detect a pure honey from that of a "manufactured" one.edit:aw honey should not be fed to infant or very elderlies, would give them diarrhea and may cause death if unabated....S! how more

Alvaro Oare: Here are the things you should do.#1 - Good deeds.Generally any good deed you thin is worth pleasing Allah.Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: A man kissed a woman (unlawfully) and then went to the Prophet and informed him.Allah revealed (this aayah)"And offer prayers perfectly At the two ends of the day And in some hours of the night (i.e. the five compulsory prayers). Verily! good deeds remove (annul) the evil deeds (small sins) (11:114)."The man asked Allah's Apostle, "Is it for me?" He said, "It is for all my followers."(Sahih Bukhari 1:504)#2 - Offering Salah.Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds."(Sahih Bukhari 1.506)#3! - Never repeating it againWell, there is not explanation needed for that.A sincere repentance is when you promise never doing it again.#4 - Regretting it whenever you remember.#5 - Stopping others from doing itEtc Etc...Show more

Beau Starcevic: wow thts amazing. alhamdulilah.

Brian Freedland: Researchers are not absolutely sure why honey heals but they are learning new things about honey everyday. Honey has also been used for stomach pains and problems. Modern research shows that honey is effective when used in the treatment of gastric or peptic stomach ulcers. Research has also revealed that honey is effective in the treatment of various wounds and infections because ! of its antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal) properties.Muslims acknowledge and accept that Allaah and His Prophet (p.b.u.h.) know better and that our Creator Has revealed the truth. Therefore, we study the research that is available, not to confirm or deny the truth that has been revealed by Allah and his Prophet (p.b.u.h.) but to learn of new ways we can use honey.The purpose of this question is just a revision ~!...Show more
