Healing Through Cupping and Honey

SUMMARY: Healing can be found in three things, cupping, honey and cauterization, but the Prophet forbids his followers to use cauterization.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "Healing is in three things: cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization, (branding with fire) but I forbid my followers to use cauterization (branding with fire).
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الأَفْطَسِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ، أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ، أَوْ كَيَّةٍ بِنَارٍ، وَأَنْهَى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَىِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that healing can be found in three things; cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization. Cupping is a traditional practice where heated cups are placed on the skin to create suction which helps with pain relief and other health benefits. A gulp of honey is also known to have many health benefits such as aiding digestion and boosting energy levels. Cauterization is a medical procedure where heat or chemicals are used to burn away tissue for healing purposes. However, the Prophet forbade his followers from using this method as it was too painful for them. This hadith teaches us that we should look for natural remedies before resorting to more extreme measures when it comes to our health and wellbeing.
