Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It was mentioned regarding the treatment of headaches that when revelation descended upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he would develop a headache, so he would cover his head with henna. He would also bind his head during his illness. And no one complained to him of a headache except that he would tell him: "Perform cupping." No specific verses were revealed for the treatment of headaches, however, the Qur’an is a general healing, as Allah Almighty says: "And We send down from the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best medicine is the Qur’an."
