Thanks for those interesting responses :-) I remember the dousing of onion juice on the head for colds or fever, and coppa (or cupping) for stomach pain. The latter is used in modern medicine for drawing blood toward or through the surface. Although they may not be considered as home remedies, certain practices also come to my mind. There was this young son of a medical practitioner in Goa, who got surprise visits from patients at their home when the father was out. They would bribe him with candies, etc., just to stomp on their backs for his curative powers. His was a breech presentation, and they didn't want the father to know because he disapproved of it. In Karachi, several friends and relatives visited our home for the very same reason. I was asked to stroke their backs, etc., with my foot (which I did whilst reciting a prayer) and they'd leave feeling instant relief from their aches or pains :-) I am curious if anyone has similar or other experiences and if there is any ascribable reason for their relief. Santosh usually offers valuable insight on such matters :-) Best Wishes: Pat de Sousa =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
