OLIVE OIL & FIGS: THE ISLAMIC CURE WITH MANY BENEFITS

A sister narrates this:
“After I gave birth to my son, I was very weak for quite some time. So my mother-in-law prepared for me a jar of figs soaked in olive oil. She started telling me about the health benefits of dried figs and olive oil, and she recited وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ and said: “When Allah عز و جل swears by something, it is no little thing!”

"She told me that in Algeria, they make it in a certain way then leave it for 40-50 days to allow the figs to properly absorb the oil. When the figs are ready, they should be eaten first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It slowly releases energy throughout the day"

Figs are naturally high in calcium and are a perfect substitute for those who cannot tolerate dairy.

They also contain antioxidants and are high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats which help prevent coronary heart attacks.

They also contain high levels of iron and can help combat anaemia.

Figs also help regulate and lower blood pressure and when mixed with olive oil, can help resolve all manner of stomach troubles.

It is also proven to cleanse the kidneys and bladder of stones.

Scientists have also experimented with the distilled juice of figs to treat cancer patients with inoperable tumours. The cancer cells were halted and some cells even reverted to their normal state causing the tumours to shrink.
