The herbal doctor’s prescription for the Shaykh, including almond oil and garlic

The student: And the second thing concerns you, with your permission.

The Shaykh: What does it concern?
The student: Your ears, your ears. This is almond oil... after the almond oil, there is garlic. This is one.
Another student: ... garlic.
The student: And this means putting it on the fire until the garlic turns black.
Another student: On the fire?
The student: In a spoon. He puts the almond oil in a spoon and puts garlic in it.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: If the almond oil is burned, the garlic turns black. The garlic is discarded, and this oil is cooled, but it should remain within the limit of tolerance.
Another student: It has warmth, meaning.
The student: It has warmth within the limit of tolerance. This is placed in both ears.

The Shaykh: What is this for, regarding the ears?
The student: Yes, there is itching, and also there is...

The Shaykh: I say this compound treatment is from garlic.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: Does it treat hearing in the ears or the itching?
The student : Both of them.

The Shaykh : Both of them.
The student: It is a harmless thing... meaning almond oil. Almond oil, and, if Allah wills, you will find it in one night. This is better before sleep. If you put it here... a little.
The student: It moves the right one.
The student: It moves a little, then a type of cotton is placed after it so that it does not come out immediately. Like this, then after half an hour or a quarter of an hour, it is placed in the second ear. It is better in this ear.
Another student: The patient.
The student: Yes, yes, it does not open. You know that garlic is a treatment for... disease...
Another student: Yes, yes, yes.
The student: Because garlic opens the blood vessels.

The Shaykh: What is this treatment?
Shuqara: This is a disease related to the heart.
The student: Blood pressure.
Shuqara: Blood pressure. I tried it, my Shaykh. Some of our relatives, more than one, and I prescribed garlic for them every day with black seed to take in the morning. The strange thing is that he tells me, meaning he is my relative, my cousin, he says, "In my life, I was sick, my pressure was very, very high. Not a month passed for him until it was completely gone. He stopped treating with doctors."

The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
Shuqara: Yes, yes, garlic, my Shaykh, is one of the best plants for treatment, absolutely, and onions as well. But for blood pressure specifically, this is the best treatment: garlic.
The student: Almond oil, meaning the effect of the garlic remains in the oil. The garlic is discarded, and this oil is placed in the ear, and, if Allah wills, you will find its benefit in one night, if Allah wills.
Shuqara: Yes.
The student: This is a treatment with simple items, because now we are treating with ordinary things.
Shuqara: Yes.
The student: This concerns the ear, a cough, and something with inflammation. Also, there is inflammation here, and here—also—inflammation with...
