Long before modern medicine arrived in Pakistan the ill were healed by the people using traditional medicine. They made herbal remedies such as sore throat remedies with honey and cough remedies with ginger tea. Some people used cupping treatment to treat pain while others thought that specific plants might fend off diseases and bad feelings.

These treatments were handed down through families over many centuries weaving a rich tapestry of medical customs. Even though modern medicine is widely accessible today some people keep sticking to these old customs as a part of our shared cultural history.

I firmly believe that ancient times is better to modern methods. I prefer the traditional remedies herbal medicine and natural treatments because its work extremely well. And also its do not having any negative side effects. They must be something best because they have been used form a very long time.

It is similar to drawing on age old knowledge that our forefathers taught us. Compared to a lot of the products you get in pharmacies these days. I feel more trusting of these treatments since they feel less manufactured and more rooted in nature.

When it comes to healing our forefathers back then had some pretty amazing skills. They extracted toxins from the body using techniques like hajama or cupping therapy. They would advise you to eat khamazoor a particular type of meal that relieves pain if you were experiencing discomfort in the abdomen.

They would also have you eat a raw egg yolk and all to treat any back pain you might have. They even had some quite clever tricks like combining black pepper and honey to relieve coughing and adding lemon to green tea to fight the flu.

Imagine a time in the past when a village member illness was considered a major occasion. Everyone would congregate to offer help. They would bring out all these strange things from their gardens and kitchen cupboards. For example someone would pick up some leaves and apply them to their forehead if they were experiencing a headache.

And they would force someone to drink this strange concoction consisting of herbs and spices if they had a stomachache. All they had to do was make an effort each other up with whatever was nearby.
