Description

Risala Itrilal

is a specialized pharmacological treatise focused on the medicinal plant Itrilal, primarily used for treating Leucoderma (Vitiligo). Translated by the distinguished scholar Hakim Syed Zillur Rahman, this work traces the historical background of the plant back to the 12th century, referencing the works of Ibn al-Baitar. The original treatise by Imad al-Din Muhammad Shirazi stands out for its experimental and research-oriented approach rather than mere imitation. The book provides a concise yet logical explanation of the plant’s nature, identification, and differentiation from similar herbs. Spanning 100 pages, it offers practical guidance on using Itrilal in both simple and compound forms, specifically highlighting its efficacy in treating white skin patches.
