Ancient Medicine

Talking about ancient medicine many things became an alternative to traditional medicine in the past, even today the treatment is still used. The combination of beliefs and spices that come from nature is very abundant, a method of treatment that medically does have benefits and effects that are quite good. I do not know for sure about other countries around the world, but maybe the type of treatment a nation's ancestors might still be used as well.

In Indonesia, whose vast territory snapped wide many areas have ancestral or traditional medicine that is still used and believed to this day. Even many of them still use magical methods of treatment and combine them with the usurpation of nature, namely spices. Do not know if it has an effect or not, but this type of treatment is sometimes a medicine that provides healing.

In your country, what kind of ancient medicine do they do?

In Indonesia there is an ancient treatment that is still carried out today, magical elements are still used and are believed to cure certain diseases suffered by someone. This type of treatment is called "Rajah" in Acehnese, a type of oral treatment or a kind of prayer used by a person who is considered an expert to his patients. Indeed, in practice, this type of tattoo treatment is often used as a treatment for sufferers of magical diseases that are difficult to understand in the advanced era as it is now, but still believed to exist.


Can you give an honest opinion on your faith? (your opinion is very valuable to us.)

Rajah can be classified as a type of treatment called Ruqiah in Islam whose type of treatment is based on belief in God with prayer readings in the Quran, this treatment can be medical or psychological diseases. Experts who do "Rajah" or can also be called Ruqiah are people who have been believed for generations to do this treatment, and almost most can indeed cure someone's disease, especially magical.

In countries that still adhere to this way of treatment, the type of treatment is called reciting mantras according to the beliefs of the medicine experts, and usually in each country is different with different combined methods as well.


Can you describe some of the elements they used at the time? What is the specific use of each of them?

Treatment type "Rajah" or Ruqiah prefers mineral water as an intermediary treatment to get healing, the way is to read the prayers or matra-matra for a particular country that is exhaled into the water. After finishing the mineral water must be drunk or wiped in places that have been determined to have a healing effect, although it seems that it cannot be seen from a medical point of view, sometimes healing is obtained from something that we cannot understand. The suggestion of healing makes the patient more excited in the healing process, so that is something that is believed to bring healing.

In the end, traditional medicine is still maintained as an alternative treatment called "Rajah" or Ruqiah, indeed both are different but also look the same. Belief in healing makes each patient believe in this way of treatment, and indeed sometimes proven and can be believed as an ancient type of treatment that is practiced until today.

So my simple post on this occasion, I invite @lil.albab, @karianaporras and @solaymann to participate in this contest, best regards to all of you.
