Prophetic medicine

Prophetic medicine is the idea that there are certain remedies and practices that were recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over 1400 years ago that can help prevent and treat illnesses.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) lived in a time when there were no hospitals or modern medicines like we have today. So, he would often use natural remedies and practices to help cure people's illnesses.

These remedies and practices were recorded in books and passed down through generations, and many Muslims turn to these remedies and practices as a way to maintain good health and prevent illnesses.

Some examples of prophetic medicine include using honey to treat sore throats, drinking black seed oil for general health, and performing cupping therapy to relieve pain and promote healing.

It's important to note, however, that while prophetic medicine can be helpful, it's not a substitute for proper medical care. If someone is sick or injured, they should always seek medical attention from a trained professional.
