Dryness of face
In winter season my skin is being dry. After washing the face, it becomes stiff and I experience chapped lips. In winters, my cheeks turn pink and glow; in 2 or 3 hours, the heat dies off. Acne appears on face, back and chest which leave black spots on my skin. I am really worried due to the dryness of my skin. My face has ruined. Please give me some advice. (Fauzia; Chakwal)

Consultation:Fauzia! In winter season dryness of face is due to lack of vitamins. Don’t take beef in your diet plan; just concentrate on fresh fruits and vegetables which you find easily according to season. Take 1 spoon of sieved wheat flour and add into 1 glass of water and cook on slow flame. Boil it 6 times; after boiling 6 times add 1 spoon of honey in this water and drink it after straining. This is the best way to complete the deficiency of vitamins. Eat grapefruit; oranges and malta daily; after grinding the skin of oranges apply on face. Daily apply oil in your belly-button before sleeping. If you apply it regularly then you will not suffer from chapped lips throughout winters. White petroleum jelly is also useful for dry skin. It is easily available easily on every medical store. You must apply petroleum jelly after washing face and hands. If blisters appear on feet, then the pain is unbearable. For this, take a little wax in deep spoon and melt it on low flame then mix little drops of mustard oil in it and massage in the wound on the feet. After 2 or 3 days, feet become soft. Pimples are the result of wrong nutritional habits, inappropriate diet, desire for meaty diet and old constipation. Pay attention to your diet. Don’t use coffee and tea regularly but increase your water intake; it helps to release the wastages. Eat fruits of fresh juices like apple, pear, grapes, pineapple, apricot and grape-fruit. Wash your face properly prior to sleep. Take one spoon of green coriander’s juice and mix a pinch of turmeric powder in it. Apply this on black spots and pimples and wash it in the morning; this will help. Use tablets of vitamin A & E according to doctor’s suggestion. Consume bottle-gourd (lauki) and other green vegetables.

Flu blocked in temples
Recently I suffered from both fever and flue. Fever decreased but flu bothered me a lot. Now flu is blocked in my temples; due to it, I suffer from headache. Medicines give relief for time being; after passage of time, pain starts increasing again. (Gul Noor Lahore)

Consultation:Gul Noor! When flu is blocked in temples, it’s very painful; steam is the best way to treat it. An acquaintance told that in 1947 he suffered from fever as a result of flu blocked in his head due to cold. He was admitted in military hospital. His continuously treatment was injection of penicillin for one week but he never felt relief and headache was increasing day by day. One day he said to the staff of hospital that he was all right and discharged from hospital. In the evening, he covered himself with a blanket and went to PanditMahadas to purchase some necessities and told him all story about his health on Pandit inquisition. Pandit gave him a piece of Jaggery (gur) and a bowl full of ghee and said to him that fry some flour. Mix ghee and jiggery in it and make a pudding (Halva). Sit on the bed, cover yourself with the blanket & eat it hot, as much as you can. Wrap the remaining pudding in a cloth and get it tied on your forehead and head. Cover your head with blanket and sleep. In the morning open it. The affected person did same as the Pandit had said. When he awoke he was completely fine. He was much surprised that he couldn’t get recovery from military hospital’s injections and treatment but healed with the tip of the Pandit. In one night, he got relief from severe headache. Steam of hot water is also useful; add leaves of eucalyptus in it to open the blocked nose. Drink hot joshanda and then take steam; it helps in healing.

Garlic is also beneficial in other problems as well; it regulates high blood pressure and finishes bad odor.

Effect of supplication
There is a lot of effect in prayer. One woman contacted and told that her relative was severe ill and there was no hope for his recovery. She was much impressed when she read in Ubqari magazine about the effects of prayer. Then, she organized collective prayer with her other relatives. In few days, the suffering person recovered; within 10 to 12 days he got discharged from the hospital. Now he participates himself in the collective prayer at his home. Last days she met Doctor AsifJaah; he is a custom officer and in the evening time after his duty he practices in his clinic and facilitates the poor people with his treatment. He told that once, a young boy came with his relatives because he couldn’t walk. I was bothered about his ailment at such a young age. The truth is that I couldn’t diagnose about his ailment. For few moments, I closed my eyes and prayed for him from the core of heart. I did not know which medicine was best for him. Anyhow, I recommended some medicines and after one week he came in my clinic on his foot. I couldn’t imagine how he got recovery but God is Almighty. This is reality; if doctor’s pray for their patients, they recover. Now the young boy is completely healthy.
