Question

Is it true that Imam ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah has mentioned in Zadul Ma’ad, chapter of Tibbun Nabawi that ants were used in the treatment of vitiligo [A skin disease]?

 

Answer

Imam ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah (rahimahullah) has suggested certain treatments for vitiligo. Among them: Onion seeds, garlic mixed with a honey paste, black seed with vinegar, cress blended with vinegar

(Zadul Ma’ad, vol. 4, pgs. 266, 271, 274, 276, 283, 370)

I have not come across mention of ants being used as a treatment.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

As a rule, one should always consult a qualified Herbalist in matters like these, as they would know the methods, and doses that are suited to each individual.

والبصل: حار في الثالثة، وفيه رطوبة فضلية ينفع من تغير المياه، ويدفع ريح السموم، ويفتق الشهوة، ويقوي المعدة، ويهيج الباه، ويزيد في المني، ويحسن اللون، ويقطع البلغم، ويجلو المعدة، وبزره يذهب البهق…

(٤/ ٢٧١)
[ثوم]… وإن دق منه مقدار درهمين، وأخذ مع ماء العسل، أخرج البلغم والدود، وإذا طلي بالعسل على البهق، نفع.

(٤/ ٢٧٤)
الحبة السوداء… وإذا سحق بخل، وطلي به البرص والبهق الأسود، والحزاز الغليظ، نفعها وأبرأها.
(٤/ ٢٧٦)
[حرف]… وإن لطخ عليه وعلى البهق الأبيض بالخل، نفع منهما
(٤/ ٢٨٣)
[دهن]… ومنها: حار رطب، كدهن البان، وليس دهن زهره، بل دهن يستخرج من حب أبيض أغبر نحو الفستق، كثير الدهنية والدسم، ينفع من صلابة العصب، ويلينه، وينفع من البرش والنمش، والكلف والبهق…
(٤/ ٣٧٠)
[ورس]… وهو في مزاجه ومنافعه قريب من منافع القسط البحري، وإذا لطخ به على البهق والحكة والبثور والسفعة نفع منها
