A heart specialist has said very confidently, ‘Make a patient of high blood pressure perform Wudu and then check his blood pressure, it must be low. It is a saying of a Muslim psychiatrist: ‘Wudu is the best cure of psychological disorders’. Western experts make mental patients put water on their bodies like Wudu many times daily. (Wudu and Science, pp. 3)
There lies also wisdom in the sequence in which body parts are washed during Wudu. The nervous system of the body becomes alert when hands are put into water first and then slowly its effects reach the veins of the face and the brain. During Wudu a person first washes his hands then rinses his mouth then sniffs water into his nose, then washes his face and other body parts all in order. This sequence is useful in preventing paralysis. If someone starts Wudu by washing his face and doing Masah, his body may suffer from many diseases. (Wudu and Science, pp. 3)
