Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuh,
Last night a very good friend of mine took me to a Hakeem. I don’t really have much interaction with them.
This guy took my pulse and then went on about my life history and then said that my problem is lack of water and I need to drink 3 litres a day! He also gave me some (Homeopathic) medication. Nice guy and he explained a lot (which I didn’t pay attention to) so he said, “Talk is cheap! Why don’t you come back in 4 weeks and tell me how you feel”.
The standard charge for disgnosis is £10 and all medicine are free and they consult for 4 weeks and then you go back again. For Ulama and Huffadh its all free; he must have asked me 3 times if I am a Hafidh.
Treatment is based on eating right etc.
I am not really sick (few niggles that’s about it).
My question is HOW IN THE WORLD can you construct someone’s whole medical history from taking wrist pulse? I have read about this millions of times but this is the first experience.
I didn’t tell him anything.
Any explanations?
