Several women established a health center named \u201cNinhursag\u201d in NE Syria\u2019s Qamishlo city. The center director \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat said that their aim is to promote herbal medicine in order to make their people trust in their own strength.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although doctors have made incredible advances in science and various fields, chemical drugs have a negative effect on people unlike alternative medicine or natural medicine. Because of their natural base, herbal remedies do not have many of the side effects of chemical products. Herbal remedies are those with active ingredients made from plant parts, such as leaves, roots or flowers. As it is known, women<\/a> were the first goddesses of healing. They were creative in every sphere of life. \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat, a researcher, herbalist and energy healer, established the Ninhursag Natural Health Center in the Qamishlo<\/a> city of North and East Syria on June 28 along with several women. NuJINHA spoke to her about the activities of the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to publish my research\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about how she decided to establish the center, \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat told us that the idea of establishment of such a center was developed in 2015 in order to promote herbal medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause very few women are interested in herbal medicine and they slowly disappear due to religious and traditional gender role beliefs. I thought about this reality and decided to promote women\u2019s role in herbal medicine again. I worked on herbal medicine in Afrin<\/a> for a while. I did research on the role of women in herbal medicine and I want to publish my research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfrin is a region where alternative medicine is common\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indicating that there are many medicinal plants in the Afrin region, she said, \u201cAfrin is a region where alternative medicine is common.  There are still many herb plants in the region. I saw how the diseases that could not be treated by modern medicine were treated by using herbal remedies in the region. The people share their experiences with each other in order to prevent herbal medicine from disappearing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll segments of society supported our project\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underlining that all segments of society supported their natural center project, \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat said, \u201cThe Autonomous Administration, Women’s Council, Free Women’s Foundation<\/a> and Health Council also supported our project. The Syrian Women\u2019s Council<\/a> provided financial support and a space to the center. In addition, the Heyva Sor a Kurd (Kurdish Red Crescent), the Syrian Democratic Council (MSD) and Health Council supported us after we opened the center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeal yourself\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stating that their main aim is to prevent herbal medicine from disappearing, \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat called on people to \u201clearn how to heal yourself. We want to teach our people how to heal themselves. Nowadays, people use chemical drugs. We want to make people trust their own strength. Now, the center has four doctors, who use energy healing methods such as herbal and massage therapy, yoga and physiotherapy to treat diseases. We named the center after Ninhursag, known earliest as a nurturing or fertility goddess. It is believed that she is the first doctor in the world, who saved people from death. Her name is very precious and meaningful for us as women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople should trust in their own strength\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling on people to trust in their own strength and to be able to heal themselves, \u015e\u00ear\u00een Welat said, \u201cWe will do our best to benefit our society, to raise awareness of the people. We will hold awareness-raising seminars. Our aim is to open many branches of the center across NE Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
