Qust al Bahri (marine costus / sea incense)
30 x 500mg capsules (vegetarian & halal)

‘the BEST medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and qust al bahri’
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

There are essentially two types of Qust, Indian (Qust al Hindi) and Marine/Sea (Qust al Bahri). Both come in the form of a dried root and both have an extremely high status in Prophetic Tradition, as can be seen from the above quote. Qust al Bahri (marine costus) is increasingly being acknowledged today for its natural benefits.

For example, Qust contains helicene and benzoic acid, both of which are substances that kill germs, hence the benefit in the treatment of infections and inflammations. Galen also noted that Qust can also help kill ringworm (intestinal parasites) and if applied as an ointment can remove dry scales which are shed by the skin, including dandruff.

Qust al Bahri is a little paler in colour and also milder in taste. It is also not as hot/strong as Qust al Hindi but carries equal potential benefits.
