  benefits of ablution. Wudu X 5 a day wash, clean
  removes the germs, chemicals, pollutants dirt

  perform Wudu in a correct way are free from such
  diseases. This privilege Muslims have enjoyed for
  more than 1400 years..

  not only cleanses these vital parts of the body
  from dust and dirt but also "softens" and
  refreshes them. Face washing of the face
  invigorates the cells helps prevent early
  wrinkles. Ears Washing/massaging the ears helps

5) WUDU SCIENTIFIC/MEDICAL BENEFITS (5-2)

• Blood Circulatory System Blood vessels supply
  the blood and oxygen to important organs and
  parts of the body. Arteriosclerosis.- aging and
  body deterioration.Water gives rise to
  temperature gradient, flexibility and visor,
  viscosity. Blood vessels have a sort of exercise
  (alternately contraction with cold and dilation
  when hot). Wudu regularly since childhood
  protects against senility which is the way the
  hardening of blood vessels reflects on the
  circulation in the brain of a person. Thus, there
  is no doubt Wudu-washing daily is really a favor
  to them from the creator.
• Immune System (Lymphatic Circulation) The lymph
  vessels are ten times thinner and carry immune
  cells protect the body by process Immunity
  fight and kill bacteria, alien object or cancer
  cell.The structure of the immune system is
  reinforced through Wudu. The most important
  center for stimulating the lymphatic system is
  the nasopharyngeal region behind the nose and
  tonsils. Washing these spots is especially
  ordered step by step clearly aims at lymphatic
  system. The reasons are as follows Stimulation
  of the both sides of the neck has great influence
  on the lymphatic system and is also part of Wudu.
  Is this not a divine blessing of the first
  quality?
• SLEEP Hadith Prophet encouraged doing ablution
  before going to bed. Yoga experts say that
  washing important motor/ sensory organs such as
  the hands, arms, eyes, legs, mouth and private
  parts before sleep using cool water relaxes the
  body preparing it for a deep sleep.
• Anger management We are also encouraged to
  ablute while being in a state of anger for the
  cooling and refreshing effect of the water( as we
  are told that anger is from the devil who is made
  out of fire and can therefore be put off by
  water).

WUDU SCIENTIFIC/MEDICAL BENEFITS (5-3)

• Chinese reflex therapy Human beings is a
  complex system of electromagnetic fields,
  meridians, biological rhythms, sophisticated
  bioenergetical indissoluble multi-channel
  bilateral connections with the skin. this hosts
  special spots BAS, whose functions resemble those
  of buttons on control and recharge boards
  responsible for particular organs. These spots
  are called biologically active spots (BAS).
• Ablution stimulates the Biological Rhythms Dr.
  Magomed Magomedov, Mans General Hygiene and
  Ecology, Daghestan State Medical Academy.
  Ablution stimulates the biological rhythms of the
  body by washing/massaging Biological Active Spots
  (BAS),
• Static electricity (electrostatic balance) The
  body normally has balance of static electricity.
  However the environment and atmospheric
  conditions common in our daily life adversely
  affect this balance. And many psychosomatic
  illnesses arise from it. The worst influence of
  static electricity is exerted continuously on the
  small sub- cutaneous muscles (under the skin),
  finally rendering them inoperative, which is why
  wrinkles are set in.These bad effects due to
  imbalance of static electricity can be simply
  avoided by doing the wudu several times a day. At
  this point many readers would have divined at
  least one of the reasons for the radiant
  appearance of those who have done wudu all their
  lives.
• INFECTIONS The Prophetic tradition of
  encouraging one to wash between the toes while
  washing the feet, is also extremely important
  Washing with water helps invigorate the ends of
  the blood vessels, as well as the nerves and
  glands that are near the skin surface, and hence
  helps them perform their functions efficiently
  and as it prevents the foot, from acquiring
  athletes foot.

6) Miswak SCIENTIFIC/MEDICAL BENEFITS (5-4)

• Siwak Arab mean massage. Miswak is an
  ideal natural oral multipurpose All-in-one oral
  brush (tongue/gum massager, mouthwash, cheap,
  natural).
• Islam Health Science, Cairo Preventive
  Medicine For Your Teeth, means more than tooth
  brush. with has at least 19 beneficial in it.
• It is a tree twig with flexible and strong
  wicks/bristles that has been fortified/ endowed
  with ingredients more than any oral care product.
  Natural Disinfectants like acidic inhibitors,
  Mustard are antibacterial, anti-decay, fights
  plague, diarrhea, stops bleeding (microscopic
  cuts, Gums path). Chemical Breakdown of a Siwak
  act as a penicillin of sorts helps the enzymes
  that prevent the buildup of plaque-Gum disease.
  Plaque, the no. 1 cause of premature loss of
  teeth.
• Natural minerals- sodium chloride, potassium,
  sodium bicarbonate and calcium oxides. These
  clean the teeth. ADA considers sodium bicarbonate
  to be a preferred ingredient used.
• Natural scented oils Gives the mouth a nice
  taste/ smell that gives breath a naturally
  fresh smell, which means cleaner teeth and
  cleaner air when breathing through the mouth.

MISWAK (Contd)

• Some researchers have found that tooth decay is
  rapid when a dry brush/miswak is used, and that
  wetting mitigates the damage. Water/ saliva will
  suffice to dampen the stick.
• Clean between the teeth and do not break under
  any amount of pressure. The small wicks bend to
  the appropriate shape to get plaque and leftover
  food out from in between teeth while avoiding any
  damage to the gums.( leftovers of food found
  between teeth- excellent environment for the
  bacteria, which can lead to painful bloody gum
  disease/cysts. In the worst cases, there can be
  inflammation of the jawbones.
• Bacteria produce damaging enzymes that eat away
  at the calcium of the teeth, causing cavities. In
  severe cases, the bacteria produce gases that
  emit nasty stenches from the mouth. Recent
  studies have found that siwak has natural
  minerals that kill microbes and germs and remove
  plaque.
• The Prophet (pbuh) used to rub the siwak over his
  tongue, teeth and gums. He taught us more than
  1,400 years ago to use the siwak to clean our
  teeth and mouth.. Anas quoted the Prophet (pbuh)
  as saying Whenever the Angel Gabriel would
  visit me, he would advise me to use the siwak.
