Best Medicine For Back Pain

According to Harvard Health, there is a simple way of getting rid of this pain. In a recent post on Twitter, in which Harvard Health claimed the Sujood posture to be the best medicine for back pain.

Sujood

Sujood is a posture that is done by kneeling and bowing until the forehead, nose, two hands, two knees, and toes touch the ground.

Sujood is an act of bowing down towards Allah, which Muslims do daily in their prayers 5 times a day. It is also proven to be a posture that improves oxygen delivery to the tissues and blood circulation, which reduces inflammation and promotes healing. Furthermore, it is also proven to be best for physiology as it reduces anxiety, depression, and stress.

Since the article of Harvard Health went viral, Muslims started sharing the post as it resonates with something they do almost 5 times a day. Several non-muslims online have expressed willingness to try the posture to cure their back pain with the simple trick.
