Question:
Blood
frequently oozes from my teeth and gums. Consuming anything firm causes the
gums to bleed, and upon waking in the morning, foul odors emanate from my
mouth. I am scheduled to be married in two months. If this dental condition
persists, my married life will be terribly impaired. Please prescribe a
medicine or spiritual remedy through which I may find liberation from this
wretched affliction.
Answer:
Diseases
of the oral cavity and teeth are directly linked to the stomach. If the
digestive system is functioning harmoniously and rigorous oral hygiene is
observed, dental afflictions do not arise. The ailment afflicting you is known
clinically as pyorrhea. In pyorrhea, pathological fluids accumulate within the
gum tissues and become infected, discharging continuously along with purulent
blood.
Alongside
correcting your digestive health and attending scrupulously to dental hygiene,
observe the following practice: every morning prior to sunrise, recite the
phrase
Ilā ajalim-musammā
اِلیٰ اَجَلٍ مُسَمّٰی
once
over a fresh spinach leaf, blow upon it, and chew the leaf thoroughly. While
chewing, take careful precautions not to swallow the extracted saliva. After
chewing it thoroughly, spit out the spinach residue. Repeat this practice three
times during the day. Discontinue the use of a toothbrush; instead, apply
toothpaste using your finger and massage your gums gently using your fingertip
both at night before bed and in the morning on an empty stomach.
