Healing

Black bile -derived from the Greek word “melas” meaning black- and bile -derived from the Greek word “khole” meaning bile- has become the name that legitimizes the denial of loss by individuals who are unable to cope with the crisis that arises as a result of a loss, leading to melancholy. On a societal level, melancholy reveals the mass images of both things that need to be remembered and forgotten at the same time. The advice of taking a bath every day, which Ibn Sina recommended for the treatment of black bile, has been one of the basic secrets of finding healing with natural methods that have been polished with faith for thousands of years. The prayers written on the bowl you use while taking a bath create a talismanic effect and accelerate the healing process. The mirror, which symbolizes the fluidity of water, is in the form of a healing bowl with motifs from the ancient talisman book “Davetname”.
