A Sea Shell Poultice Approach

Question: Approximately two and a half months ago, I began developing small pustules on my hands, which gradually spread across my entire body. Initially, these lesions appeared similar to heat rashes, but over time, they enlarged significantly and became increasingly inflamed, accompanied by severe pruritus (itching). Despite undergoing treatment for this condition over the past two and a half months, the lesions continue to recur. The initial lesions heal within one to two days, but new ones appear, leaving behind scars. While some relief is provided by the creams prescribed by my healthcare provider, the recurrence of the condition remains unresolved. I am now experiencing considerable distress. I kindly request an effective remedy that will provide permanent resolution to this ongoing issue.

Answer: A natural remedy that has been traditionally utilized in such conditions involves the use of sea shells, which possess unique therapeutic properties. To begin, take half a pound of sea shells and cleanse them thoroughly using hot water. Once cleaned, allow the shells to dry and then coarsely grind them using a mortar and pestle. The crushed shells should be placed inside a cloth poultice. Submerge this poultice in a large container filled with water and bring it to a boil. This infused water, which can be used for both drinking and culinary purposes, should be prepared fresh daily. It is advisable to use either stainless steel or clay vessels for this preparation. After twenty-four hours, the water should be replaced with freshly boiled water, ensuring a continuous supply throughout the treatment. The poultice of sea shells should be maintained and used for a period of fourteen days. The treatment should continue for the full duration, which corresponds to the use of four poultices.

During the course of this treatment, it is essential to avoid the consumption of hot and spicy foods, particularly chili peppers, significant improvement by alleviating the lesions, reducing inflammation, and resolving the persistent pruritus associated with the skin condition.

Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi


Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”

Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
