Facial Blemishes, Acne Scars, and Failing Eyesight

 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.
