The authentic prophetic traditions report that a man complained to Allahs Blessed Messenger (pbuh) about forgetfulness, and was advised, “Use frankincense, for it invigorates the heart with courage and it is a remedy for forgetfulness.”
Frankincense (‘Lubbaan in Arabic) is an aromatic resin produced by a certain genus of trees grown mainly in Yemen, Somalia and Oman, and is traditionally used in perfumes, incense and as a medicine. The resin is tapped and allowed to harden, before being powdered. It is most commonly very light yellow in colour.
It is reported that Ibn Abbaas (may God be pleased with him) used to drink a mixture of powdered frankincense, water and sugar on an empty stomach. Someone once complained to Anaas (ra) about a weak memory, and Anaas replied, “Soak frankincense overnight in water, and drink the solution in the morning on an empty stomach, for it benefits the memory.”
The application of this remedy has a simple and clear reasoning. Mild amnesia, forgetfulness or a weak memory of past experiences, events or words results from a corrupt humour somewhere in the body. This corrupt humour affects different parts of the brain, causing ill-disposition, particularly in people with cold, damp temperaments. This condition produces defective memory and thus blocks the brains natural ability to retain messages in sequence or to store information.
Frankincense, which contains the opposite attributes, thus helps to repair and balance the bodily humours. This helps ultimately to remove the blockage and restore the memory. Amongst the other numerous benefits of frankincense; it aids the treatment of tuberculosis, stomach ache and diarrhoea, and it helps the digestion, helps expel wind, relieve eye sores / refreshes the eyes, treats infections and helps heal cuts and bruises when used in a bandage. It also helps treat a speech impediment (both tongue-tie and stuttering). Burning frankincense helps repel mosquitoes and other flying insects.
