HISTORY OF COSTUS

The plant of the Qust, which is known as Costus is 2 metres in length and is generally found in the northwest and northeast of the sub Himalayan regions. The roots are used for medicinal purposes.

The Messenger Muhammad (SAW) said, “Use this ‘Oud al-Hindi (Indian Wood Costus) because it contains 7 types of cures, it is sniffed by the one having throat trouble, and is put inside the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy”. [Saheeh al-Bukhari (5692)].

In addition, the Messenger (SAW) said: ” Cupping (Hijama) and Qust al-Bahri (Sea Incense Costus) are the best of your remedies”. He added, “You should not harm your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing their tonsils, rather use Qust al-Bahri (Sea Incense Costus)”. [Saheeh al-Bukhari (5696)].

Qust (Costus) also against victular and quartan fever (fever that comes every 4 days), the pain on the side of the body and poisons. When the face is anointed with Qust (Costus) that has been ground and mixed with water and honey, it heals spots that appear on the face. Galinus said that Qust (Costus) ‘heals tetanus, the pain on the sides and kills spots (which he called pumpkin seeds).

Besides that, modern researches suggest that Qust (Costus) is a blood purifier, antiseptic and increases the cutaneous circulation. Hence, it might be used to treat dandruff, freckles, and ringworm. It is a good insect repellent. Hence, might be used to keep off the insects from the clothes. Internally it is a good anti-spasmodic and neurotonic, hence, might be used to treat coughs, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, paralysis, facial palsy and neurasthenia.

INDIAN COSTUS AND SEA COSTUS

Qust al Bahri is another miracle of Allah’s creations, it is a blessed herb & has a huge value in Tibb al Nabwi, it was used by Prophet Muhammad (SAW), it is the best medicine for Sa’oot سعوط in which Qust is put in each nostril and inhaled heavily by breath, Sa’oot opens Sinus & blocked nose, expels phlegm & soothes the entire respiratory system, there is no other medicine more powerful than Qust for all respiratory disorders.

Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad SAW said: “Among all of your medicines, the best treatments are Hijamah & Qust al Bahri”.
وفى (الصحيحين): من حديث أنس رضى الله عنه، عن النبىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: (خيرُ ما تداوَيْتُم به الحِجامةُ والقُسْطُ البَحْرِىُّ).

There is another type of Qust which is called Oud al Hindi, it is darker in color, with a stronger and bitter flavor & is Hotter than ordinary Qust.

As a result, for a person under the evil spell of magic & jinn, some Hajjams combine Hijamah with Oud al Hindi, after Hijamah, Mahjoom is asked to take a teaspoon after every hour (a total of 16 teaspoons per day), those Hajjams feel that heavy dosage of Oud al Hindi crushes the spell of magic & Allah Knows the best. Because we feel that anything in excess is not justifiable.

Similarly, Qust has a lot of applications, if applied externally, it is a beauty remedy for arthritic pains. Even more, Imam Zahbi says that it is useful in paralysis as well as increases the libido, an antidote for snake poison and its oil is effective in back pain.
