«اِللِّي حَلَقْ، رَاسُهْ بِرْدِتْ»

The proverb says that an effect ends when the thing producing it has been taken away. Relief is pictured as following directly from the removal of the condition that had made someone uncomfortable.

It can express the practical idea that solving a problem at its origin also brings an end to what that problem causes. The focus is on the connection between a cause and the consequence that follows from it.

Use it when removing the condition behind an irritation or difficulty also makes its resulting trouble disappear, rather than leaving only the visible effect to be dealt with.
