ReplyDeleteHow miraculous and wonderful is the word mentioned more than 1400 years ago, "Treat with Indian incense (oud al-Hind), for it has a healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one who has throat problems, and it should be put into one side of the mouth by one suffering from pleurisy (inflammation)." (Hadith-Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol.7, Book 71, Hadith No. 596)
