Benefits from Islamic sources:

“You should use Indian frankincense because it contains cures for seven diseases. You can use it as a nose drop if you have problems in your throat or you can take it for pleurisy in the side of your mouth.”
(Sahih al Bukhari)

Umm Qays bint Mihsan said that Rasulullah ﷺ said: "You should use the Indian costus, for in it there is cure for seven diseases. It is taken through the nose for the sore throat, or the pus that arises between the ear and the throat, or against pleurisy in the side of the mouth."
(Sahih al Bukhari)

“There are two types of Costus: Indian Costus (which is black) and Marine Costus (which is white). The Indian version is hotter (spicier) and that is what we focus on because this form angers the jinn.”
(Abu Bakr ibn Arabi)

Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar رحمه الله said: “Therein there is cure for seven diseases. It may be that the seven refer to the various medical treatments of Costus, as it is used as an ointment, as a drink, as a compress, as a hot compress, as incense, as nasal drops, or as ludud (medicine consumed in the corner of the mouth). becomes."

He also wrote: “Mix the powder with olive oil so that they can reach the brain; and whatever disease is present should be driven away by sneezing.”

He wrote about the use against jinn: People lie on their backs and put something between their shoulders, which makes them a little higher, and lean their head back and then they drip olive oil with the ground qust into their nose so that it goes to the brain and therefore there are disturbances that can be eliminated by sneezing.
(Fath al-Baari, Kitab al-Tibb)

“Among the best of your healing remedies are the Hijamah and Quist Al-Bahri and do not torture your young ones by squeezing (their uvula) to cure their tonsillitis. ; you should use Costus instead.”
(Muslim 5726)
