The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs yesterday urged the World Health Organisation, medical researchers and all those struggling to find a cure for coronavirus to do consider Prophet Muhammad’s statements on the usage of black seed and honey for treatment of diseases.
Director, Administration, NSCIA, Yusuf Nwoha, in a statement, cited the testimony of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde who claimed to have fought his coronavirus infection with black seed oil and honey.
Nwoha said generations of Muslims after the Prophet had continued to use black seed for the treatment of respiratory conditions and digestive disorders, including gas, colic, diarrhea, dysentery, constipation and hemorrhoid.
“Other health conditions which the black seed can be used to treat include asthma, allergies, cough, bronchitis, emphysema, the swine flu and congestive heart disease.
“Honey, on its part, offers remarkable antiseptic, antioxidant and immune boosting properties for the human body. Apart from fighting infection and helping in tissue healing, honey also reduces inflammation and it is useful for digestive problems also such as indigestion, stomach ulcers and gastroenteritis,” he said.
