Nursyifa Karawang Alternative Medicine at a Glance

Introduction

Nursyifa Karawang Alternative Medicine is a medical clinic located in Salagedang Hamlet, RT 003 RW 004, Cengkong Village, Purwasari District, Karawang Regency. This clinic focuses on correcting the body's nerves and improving blood circulation.

As is commonly known, diseases in the body have many causes, sometimes from impure blood that blocks blood flow and malfunctioning nerves (such as stiff nerves or muscles), resulting in decreased function.

Regarding impure blood, it actually originates from food or drinks that contain many harmful chemicals, such as preservatives, sweeteners, and colorings, all of which are very harmful to the body. These chemicals will accumulate in the bloodstream over time, disrupting blood circulation.

Meanwhile, the body's nerves include motor nerves, which are the ones that move our bodies. For example, we can pick something up because the motor nerves in our hands are functioning properly. However, if the motor nerves in our hands are damaged, our hands cannot pick something up because they are not functioning normally.

When blood flow is smooth and the nerves in our bodies are functioning properly, our bodies will be healthy and our ability to function smoothly will be unimpeded. If either of these nerves is damaged, the body will be affected, resulting in frequent fatigue, tiredness, weakness, lack of enthusiasm, frequent drowsiness, frequent anger, and so on.

Bio-Energy Therapy

Explanation:

1. Bio-Energy Therapy

Bio-energy therapy is a technique or method of treatment that channels natural energy into the patient's body, stimulating the body's motor nerves and improving blood flow.

According to Prof. Dr. Iskandar Zulkarnaen, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta, he explains that 60 percent of human illnesses are caused by a disruption in the body's circulatory system.

2. Cupping/Al-Hijamah

Cupping, or al-hijamah in Arabic, is a treatment process that removes impure blood from the body using cupping cups and other cupping instruments. Cupping therapy is useful for removing blood clots that impede blood circulation and can act as a detoxification technique, directly removing toxins from the body.

Cupping therapy has been around for thousands of years, using simple equipment. Even the Prophet Muhammad himself frequently performed cupping and encouraged his followers to do so.

In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, the best treatment you can perform is cupping." In fact, performing cupping is tantamount to worship, as it is a form of treatment recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Therefore, cupping not only improves health but also provides rewards for following the Prophet's Sunnah.

3. Reflexology or Nerve Acupressure

Reflexology or Nerve Acupressure is a treatment method that involves pressing or massaging specific nerve points related to the patient's complaint using bare hands or special massage tools. The purpose of this nerve acupressure is to stimulate the nerves in the body that are causing health problems. Therefore, nerve acupressure will significantly assist in faster recovery.

4. Eye Gurah

Eye Gurah is a treatment method found in Nursyifa Alternative Medicine. This treatment involves blowing into the patient's eyeballs with a small stream of air from the therapist's mouth. The purpose of eye gurah is to stimulate the optic nerve, as it helps patients with age-related complaints or diseases, such as cataracts, nearsightedness, myomas, astigmatism, frequent eye fatigue, and so on.

5. Mucus Gurah

Gurah mucus is a treatment method that involves inserting a special nasal concoction into the patient's nose. This concoction directly removes harmful mucus and stomach acid from the body, thus alleviating various ailments.

Gurah mucus is widely practiced in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as a voice-clearing treatment for qori (reciters), sinden (singers), artists, and singers. This treatment is routinely performed to maintain a clear and melodious voice. Gurah mucus was first introduced by KH. Marzuki, a prominent Islamic scholar in the Yogyakarta Hadiningrat area.

6. Acupuncture

In addition to the treatment methods mentioned above, Nursyifa's alternative medicine also offers acupuncture, a method of acupuncture. The primary function of this treatment is to stimulate the body's nerves at specific points, usually those that are difficult to stimulate with bio-energy therapy, namely the deepest nerves in the body.

This acupuncture method is very effective in treating various complaints and illnesses such as stroke, back pain, gout, diabetes, paralysis, tumors, cancer, chronic headaches, and so on.

7. Prana Healing

Prana healing is therapy using water that has been prayed over using bottled water. Patients are asked to bring bottled water, and the water is prayed over directly by the therapist.
