The Most High is our healer and deliver. He also gave us healing remedies for everyday issues. Let look at some healing properties of the Bible.
"and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”
Exodus 15:26 KJV
Only five species are mentioned directly as medicinal plants in the Bible: let’s investigate
Fig (Ficus carica),
Historically, figs have been used to treat numerous ailments, including common digestive issues such as poor appetite, colic, indigestion, constipation, dysentery, inflamed or ulcerated intestines, and intestinal parasites. They also provide antispasmodic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and natural laxative effects.
Nard (Nardostachys jatamansi),
Fights Bacteria and Fungus. Spikenard stops bacterial growth on the skin and inside the body. On the skin, it's applied to wounds in order to help kill bacteria and help provide wound care. Inside the body, spikenard treats bacterial infections in the kidneys, urinary bladder and urethra.
Hyssop (Origanum syriacum),
Hyssop is used for digestive and intestinal problems including liver and gallbladder conditions, intestinal pain, intestinal gas, colic, and loss of appetite. It is also used for respiratory problems including coughs, the common cold, respiratory infections, sore throat, and asthma.
Balm of Gilead (Commiphora gileadensis)
Balm comes from several herbs that are part of the mint family of plants; it is used in everything from food to alcohol and perfume to fruit drinks. In regards to the balm of Gilead, this balm is related to the balsam poplar (Commiphora opobalsamum) and is considered a myrrh-like resin/chemical compound found in the Arabian Peninsula, specifically in ancient Palestine east of the Jordan River; it was used for medicine. It is related to a North American poplar species that is used for cough syrups.
The balm was known to be combined with other ingredients to increase its potency, such as licorice and honey (among other ingredients) for solving chest congestion to oil or lard for bruising, swelling, or damage to the skin. Inflammation is what the balm of Gilead is used most for, presently, especially for sunburns or arthritis. Some ancient historians say that Queen Sheba gave a gift of the balm to King Solomon
Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum)
In addition to its narcotic and analgesic properties, mandrake was used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions including asthma, arthritis, inflammations and ulcers. For centuries mandrake was associated with myths and magic, being one of the ingredients of the witches' 'flying ointments' in the Middle Ages.
