Question:
Since childhood, I was a
slender and sensitive girl, yet I possessed a lovely face. While in the seventh
grade, my distant vision deteriorated. I had an intense aversion to eyeglasses,
on account of which I never spoke of my failing eyesight to anyone, though
anxiety lingered constantly in my heart. Subsequently, I grew taller and my
face grew thin. Alongside this, pimples and comedones began erupting across my
face. I applied cosmetic creams, which only damaged my skin further. When the
eruptions subsided, blemishes remained behind that closely resemble smallpox
scars. I frequently squeezed the blemishes out, which left pores and pits upon
my face, and dark circles appeared under my eyes. My face is small, slender,
and elongated, because of which eyeglasses look terribly unflattering. Kindly
prescribe a spiritual practice or remedy that will eliminate the facial scars
and also cure the weakness of my eyesight.
Answer:
Mix red ochre (Geru)
with water and apply it to the face. Within a short period, the marks of
comedones and pimples will disappear. Alongside this, abstain from flatulent,
oily, and heavy foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. As far as
spectacles are concerned, a frame can be selected that complements the contours
of your face so that it does not appear unflattering. To strengthen your
eyesight alongside using eyeglasses, follow this formulation:
In the morning on an empty stomach, take one almond kernel and one māsha (approx. 1 gram) of cleaned psyllium husk (Ispaghol). Soak the almond kernel overnight in water, and peel off its skin in the morning. Grind the almond kernel thoroughly in a clean mortar until it becomes exceptionally fine, then add a tiny amount of water. Stir in the psyllium husk and drink it, adding water only in very small increments. Drink this preparation without adding any sweeteners or additives, and refrain from eating anything for at least half an hour afterward. Continue using this preparation for three weeks, then discontinue it. In addition, eat semi-roasted fennel seeds once daily. Continue the consumption of fennel seeds even after concluding the course of the preparation.
