Around these parts anyway…. with good old fashioned bush medicine!
A few weeks ago Eli received a headache treatment from Mama Olgan. The treatment involved Eli covering her head with a towel and then Mama grabbing Eli’s scalp between her teeth and giving it a good old tug!
I was there and could hear Eli’s scalp tear when Mama pull away with her teeth. A very painful treatment indeed and one that I’m sure modern medicine would totally disagree with but believe it or not - once Eli recovered from the pain of the “rip” - her headache was gone!!
(Note the look of pain on Eli’s face as Mama rips away at her scalp)
We here, in the middle of Europe have a similar treatment for headache :-) When you have a headache, grab a hammer and slam your little foot finger wit it:-D But it might cost you your finger in the end…
As I see it, modern medicine is starting to return to old methods. Many pills, that people use, are not very harmless to the humans organism. Just like the antibiotics. Not to mention, that those pharmaceutics companies are rising the prices for their products just because they want higher profits. I think, that our society is addicted to pills and that is not good. It is better to eat every day fruits and vegetables instead of swallowing every day tons of vitamins.
Hi Susan,
Next time one of us gets a headache - we will try the hammer cure!!
