Prophetic medicine focuses on four fundamental pillars:

✓ Gut Healing (Husn al-Hazm)

The Prophet ﷺ emphasized:

• Eating slowly

• Eating in moderation

• Avoiding overeating (1/3 rule)

• Simple, natural foods

• Herbal healing like Qust al-Bahri & Black Seed

✓ Emotional Regulation

Anger, stress, and sadness weaken the body.
The Sunnah focuses on:

• Dhikr

• Deep breathing

• Mindfulness

• Ruqya (spiritual cleansing)

✓ Movement

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Walk after eating”
A perfect lifestyle recommendation for blood sugar and digestion.

✓ Sleep & Circadian Rhythm

Sleeping early, waking early, and afternoon rest stabilizes hormones.

Harvard research now validates all four pillars scientifically.

2️⃣ Harvard Research: What Science Now Confirms

🍽 Harvard on Eating Slowly & Mindful Portions

Harvard Medical School states that:

• Eating slowly reduces calorie intake

• Prevents insulin spikes

• Lowers stress hormones

🫀 Harvard on Gut Health (Your Second Brain)

Harvard’s research shows:

• 70% of immunity is in the gut

• Gut bacteria regulate mood, metabolism, weight

Tai Chi is recommended —
and Sunnah teaches the same calm, rhythmic movement approach (walking, breathing, mindfulness).
