Afghan medicine

Afghan medicine consists mainly of herbs and traditional Arabic medicine. Throughout all the Islamic world you can see the two forms of medical practice. The herbal medicine would require another ten books at least, but the Arabic medicine can be explained within these pages.

Here are a few non-magical remedies for ailments which affect every society.
* Constipation: press on the large intestine with firm and hard pressure and rotate your hand in a clockwise direction.
* Diarrhoea: as above but rotate in an anticlockwise direction.
* Common cold: relief can be obtained by rubbing down the inside of your arms.
* Back pain: rub the palms of you hands together and place them onto your kidneys.
* Eye problems: rub the palms of your hands together and place them on your eyelids for relief, gently rub the bone around the eye then place your palms back on your eye for further relief.
