History And Health Benefits Of Henna by Empiree: 4:59pm On Apr 18, 2018 |
Henna is not only for adornment but has several health benefits as well. We are all familiar with Henna and as Eid nears, females in Muslim households start shopping for it. Contrary to popular belief, henna is not only used for adornment and beauty purposes, it has been used for medicinal purposes throughout Islamic history and holds great significance in that regard. Muslims have been known to practice the use of henna since centuries and the practice remains alive to this very day. Application of henna has been observed since the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and it has been mentioned in several hadith of the Prophet (PBUH), highlighting its significance and value. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “The best things to use to change grey hair are henna and katam.” (Al-Tirmidhi 1753) Henna is basically a powdered version of a plant known as Lawsonia Alba, which is grown in countries like Pakistan, India, Iran and several others. Since centuries, it has been used as a dye for coloring different parts of the body, such as the hands, feet, nails and hair. According to the Islamic Encyclopedia of Medicine, henna was even used by the ancient Egyptians for mummification purposes. Henna, in essence, has also been used for medicinal purposes since the Prophet’s (PBUH) time. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to personally prescribe it for several ailments during his time. Narrated by Salmah, the maid-servant of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), said: No one complained to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) of a headache but he told him to get himself cupped, or of a pain in his legs but he told him to dye them with henna. (Abi Dawud Book 28, Hadith 3849) According to another tradition: Salma Umm Rafi’, the freed slave woman of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), said: “The Prophet (PBUH) did not suffer any injury or thorn- prick but he would apply henna to it” (Ibn Majah Vol. 4, Book 31, Hadith 3502). So what does science have to say when it comes to the benefits of henna? In recent times, due to more awareness and rising health consciousness, people have started preferring natural products over chemically processed ones; Henna is one of them. Henna, being a herb, is known to have different kinds of healing properties. According to recent findings, henna, aside from its dyeing properties, has great medicinal advantages. Some of which are as follows: 1. A remedy for headaches and migraines- the anti-inflammatory effects of the juice of henna help lower the nerve tension and promote healthy blood flow 2. Reduces fever- Brings the body temperature down through a cooling effect on the body 3. A balm for open wounds and fungal infections- helps in coagulation 4. Used as a medicinal crème for burns and eczema – protects against infections and reduces inflammation. 5. Sleep Regulator- Henna oil treatment helps with insomnia and sleep disorders by calming the body and mind, relaxing the nerve endings and inducing muscle relaxation 6. Used as an antiperspirant- closes the body’s pores and showcases antibacterial properties 7. Strengthens hair and prevents hair fall- revitalizes damaged hair 8. Maintains blood pressure- henna water or seeds have a hypotensive effect that alleviates the stress on the cardiovascular system, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure, preventing heart attacks and strokes as well. Henna should be a part of your natural treatment schedule for it has many hidden benefits which are not commonly known. If the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prescribed it as a medicinal cure, who are we to question him? And it seems, science has only reinforced the Sunnah and hadith of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), constantly shedding light on its therapeutic properties and health advantages. Source I expect this Islamic fashion to flow among Nigerian girls as they read this.

Splendidsun:Lol, yes. I went to a college in ilorin for 4yrs. But ilorin was not my islamic background though. It is just additional learning and exposure. Which of my posts is that? |
Re: History And Health Benefits Of Henna by Splendidsun: 7:11am On Sep 02, 2018 |
Empiree:yes, you mentioned in the post that you only spent 4 years in ilorin. Not sure if I can trace it back. You have a really long chain of posts. Wished I had a deep Islamic background too, I know just basic stuffs. I find it really shameful when I'm not able to answer some question about my religion when asked. |
Re: History And Health Benefits Of Henna by Empiree: 11:02am On Sep 02, 2018 |
Splendidsun:Humm, we all have different backgrounds. It is not too late to learn and improve yourself. When we are under our parents we are not our true self at that time. We are Muslim because our parents are until we are independent of them. That's when our true self begins to function. I am no longer muslim because my parents are. I have learned independently after the basics they thought me. And I am now 100% convinced that Islam is a true religion. It is high time you go back to Qur'an and get closer to religious learned men BECAUSE your encounters with non-Muslims will never stop until you go back to Allah. They will ask you questions. They will debate you. They will trick you. They will persuade you. They will do everything in the book to get you to be part of them. NAIRALAND Islam section is encyclopedia to learn from, and even Christian one. 1 Like 1 Share |

JeromeBlack, i replied you on your thread but am banned. Hopefully i will repost it when am freed from NL jail. However, see why i said you guys are nothing but scums?. You just replied Saucyxo on general islam thread that what you like about islam is "Jilboob". Obviously you crazy. Thats why i dont take it easy with apostates and atheists. Maybe Saucyxo would now understand my standpoint against homononsense. Anyways, check out this thread |

Empiree: It was a joke. Relax. Someone cannot play withu. I think you need to chill. Have you ever gone for a massage ? A spa day. I know they have really bad vacation days in the US but try get some sick leave maybe. Just relax. Not all muslims have good intentions and not all non muslims have bad intentions. It doesn't have to be us vs them. (Which is really you vs them). The best way to draw people into Islam is our character eh. You dont take it easy with apostates and athiests because they can make silly comments at times. Obviously you weren't meant to take that seriously. What does that have to do with homosexuality ? |
