Dates are food and medicine

Dates are food and medicine. Nihad Fattah Al-Turki and among the health benefits of dates that Ibn Al-Baytar mentioned in his book / Al-Jami' li-Mufradat al-Adwiya wa al-Aghdhiya / that dates warm the body and fertilize it, and they are suitable for the chest, lungs, and stomach. When dates are soaked in milk, they give a strong infusion, and their best use is in cold weather because they enrich the body, improve the complexion, increase libido significantly, and eliminate cold diseases and pains if they are present. Al-Ghassani said in / Al-Mu'tamad fi al-Adwiya al-Mufrada / that dates increase semen and cause headaches, and they are improved by almonds and poppy. The best are large Berani dates, and they strengthen the liver and soften temperament. In the book / Al-Tibb al-Nabawi / by Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, it is mentioned that unripe dates are green and unripe, and once ripe, they become moist, hot, and dry, and they can cause stomach ulcers and constipation, benefiting the gums and mouth. The most beneficial are those that are tender and sweet, and eating a lot of dates causes congestion in the intestines. Moist dates strengthen the cold stomach, increase libido, fertilize the body, and nourish it, and their nourishment is abundant. They are among the greatest fruits. Dates are an enhancer for the liver, a laxative for the temperament, increase libido, especially when combined with pine nuts, and cure sore throats. For those unaccustomed to them, like people from cold regions, they can cause congestion, harm teeth, and provoke headaches, which can be alleviated by almonds and poppy. Dates are among the most nutritious fruits for the body, and eating them on an empty stomach kills worms because they contain a strong tonic. Continuous consumption on an empty stomach dries out the worm material and weakens it. Dates are fruit, food, medicine, and sweet. Eating dates protects against hemorrhoids. To prevent lower abdominal pain and the appearance of hemorrhoid winds, one should eat seven Berani dates every night with cow ghee and smear between the thighs with lily oil. Researchers confirmed that eating dates on an empty stomach kills worms and also strengthens the liver. They pointed out that dry dates contain carbohydrate substances, fats, sugary materials, and mineral salts. Dates preserve the moisture and shine of the eyes, prevent bulging, combat cloudiness, strengthen vision and auditory nerves, and calm nerves. Nutrition specialists recommend eating dates because they are considered fruit, food, medicine, and drink due to their main nutrients like sugars, acids, minerals, fiber, proteins, vitamins, and others. Dates have significant medicinal value, as mentioned in the noble Hadith: / Dates remove disease and there is no disease in them /, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: / Whoever eats seven dates in the morning, that day will not be harmed by poison or magic /, and Allah's saying: / And Zuroo' and Nakhil, their date palms are tender /.
