The Olive Oil and Eczema affliction

As a parent what ever problem my child faces i endeavor for definite solutions. My 4.5 years old son had multiple issues arising from one major issue that was the Eczema affliction. Things happening were:

Dryness

Itchiness

Eczema

Scratches and Bleeding

Sleepless nights

Cranky

Lack of interest in school

Lack of apetite

Lethargic

Thanks to my Maliha bhabhi, may Allah bless her always, who shared this stupendous totka. She adviced me to apply the olive oil diluted in few drops of water on my son’s skin, or apply just the olive oil on wet body after bath. i decided to be canny by applying just the olive oil and excluded the water. The result was apparent within a span of 2 to 3 days as the issues started fading away and his skin got softer. Its true that reviews related to olive oil have always been laudatory whether cooking, external application or internal cures and proven well in my case when tried.

The olive oil massage that healed my son’s affliction was mystic, but my faith was further revived when i read this:

Abu Na’im reported that Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) stated, “Eat the olive oil and apply it (locally), since there is cure for seventy diseases in it, [and] one of them is leprosy.”

Now whenever i ask my son for an olive oil application, he meekly responds “yes mama..”.
