হাদীসের আলোকে চিকিৎসা-৪

কালিজিরা

নবী(সঃ) বলেছেন-তোমরা নিজেদের জন্য এই কালো বীজ(কালিজিরা)ব্যবহার বাধ্যতামুলক করে নাও। কেননা এর মধ্যে মৃত্যু ছাড়া সব রোগের নিরাময় রয়েছে। তিরমিযী-আবওয়াবুত তিব্ব-১৯৯১।

কালিজিরার ৫-৭টি দানা পিষে যয়তুনের তেলের সাথে মিশিয়ে নাকের উভয় ছিদ্রপথে কয়েক ফোঁটা দিয়ে অসুস্থ ব্যক্তিকে চিকিৎসা করার কথা এসেছে। বুখারী ৫২৭৬ নং হাদীসের আলোকে।

  • শীতের সময় বাচ্চাদের অনেক সময় নাক বন্ধ বা ঠাণ্ডা লেগে থাকে। একটি পাতলা কাপড়ে কিছু কালিজিরার দানা পুটলি বেধে (ভিতরে friction) একটু ঘষে নাকের কাছে ধরলে নাক বন্ধ ভালো হয়ে যায় আল্লাহর রহমতে।
  • আবার কয়েকটিদানা পানিতে ভিজিয়ে রেখে নাকে ২ ফোঁটা ও ১ ফোঁটা করে দিলেও nasal drop এর মত কাজ করে।
  • এছাড়া কালোজিরা ও মধু একসাথে খেলেও বিভিন্ন রোগের উপকার পাওয়া যায়।
