"Do you have a Tharirah (arum)?' I said, 'Yes.' He said. Place it on the pimple. He then said, 'Say, O Allah who transforms the big to small and the small to big, make what I am suffering from small." [Al-Hakem In addition narrated the Hadith],

The Tharirah (Arum) is an Indian remedy made of arum cane. Arum is hot and dry and helps against stomach and liver tumors and dropsy and In addition strengthens the heart.

In the Sahihain it is narrated that 'A'esha said, "I perfumed the Messenger of Allah SB with my hand using Tharirah (Arum) during the Farewell Hajj during the state of Thram and otherwise."

The pimple is a growth that results from hot harmful, septic substances that push towards the skin so as to find a way out of the body. The pimple needs to mature and to then be opened and extracted, such as by using the Tharirah, which helps extract the septic matter from the pimple, along with giving a good aroma. In addition, the Tharirah soothes the hotness of the pimple. This is why the author of 'the AI-Qonoon said, "There is no better remedy for fire burns than the | Tharirah, when it is blended with rose essence and vinegar.
