glasses

Hello friends,
I don't know what this type of treatment is called, but when I was little, my mother would put glasses on my father's bare back.
We would cut pieces of potato, place them on the back, and she would light matches and stick them onto toothpicks, then immediately close the jar, until the skin swelled and turned red. It amused me, and I would also stick them on myself or I would uncap the jars of my father’s skin.
Apparently, what was it that relieved him? I don't know! :

Best regards

I think we call that country medicine or grandma's remedies ;-).

It reminds me of when I had earaches, my grandmother would roll a newspaper into a cone, insert the pointed end into my ear, and light the other end... all the way to the tip...

I was scared!!! Very scared!! And I didn't know if it was the flame or the fear of having my ear burned if it continued… But the pain went away immediately!

Hello Ladysally, hello Tom,

Glasses on the back... yes, that rings a bell after seeing it in movies.
I believe they were applied hot to the back in case of a high fever and that would bring the fever down – or am I wrong? Another “grandmother’s” method is to put warm, damp cloths on the calves.

What you say, Tom, is correct. When a practitioner gave me an ear treatment, I was also scared… scared that the little flame would descend all the way down. Today, there’s no longer any need for “cones”; you can buy “HOPI candles.” Do you know them?

See you soon, ClaudiaC

Hello Claudiac,
Hello Tom,
What is this thing, a cone on fire at the tip, I imagine, I know you must have been really scared. :o
Anyway, I had a good laugh watching the scene in front of me, hopefully I’m not traumatized.
Kind regards
Ladysally :-* :-*

Good afternoon, Ladysally, Tom, and Claudiac

So, for the cups placed on the back, we call them suction cups; we used them a long time ago to drive out fever or illness, as they used to say.

Today they are sometimes used by certain physiotherapists; this practice is called physiotherapy, and we treat rheumatism, migraines, pneumonias, dermatitis, sports injuries, and all functional visceral disorders.

I hope I have answered your questions.

best regards

Hi ladysally

I would have been really scared too, especially about losing my ear and my hair ;D ;D

But it’s horriiiiiiiiible

I didn’t know about this method; I’m going to ask the veterans. I hope it’s no longer practiced. Aaaah, what a trauma.

Kisses and hugs with my two ears and my blonde hair ;D

Hello Sebsylam,
Yes, that's true, now that I think about it, yes, they are suction cups.
Thank you, my dear, for your information, which is of great help to us.
Kisses from Brussels, ladysally

Hello Ladysally,
My things, let's say it was a dowsing practitioner who told me about it. It's like a long cigar that you light; the flame releases an essence that produces a very light smoke that descends into the ear. I had a cardboard circle covered with aluminum, but I was always watching with one eye to make sure I wasn't going to singe my brown hair…

Here is a link to those mysterious things called “Hopi candles”: http://www.fengshui-mag.com/feng_shui_boutique/fiche.php?ref=BO-005&ID=37&PHPSESSID=b81554f7881f72979f1828606b16e26d

See you soon, ClaudiaC

Thank you, Sebsylam, for this clarification.

See you soon, ClaudiaC

Hello again,
If you are not afraid and want to try Hopi candles, please ask your friend, partner, or any other trusted person to hold it for you—so that you will feel reassured. As for me, I have never done it alone… yes, yes, I know I’m a scaredy-cat, but that’s just how it is… I’m not committing hara-kiri… and I am not a kamikaze.
And I ask you to read the packaging instructions... even those who don't like to read them...

So, does that appeal to you?

See you soon, ClaudiaC

haaaaaa hiiiiiiii hhaaaaaa hhiiiiiii
This is genuinely hilarious, but is it meant to be funny, or does this thing actually work?
regards, ladysally

Good evening, dear Ladysally,
I will answer you like this: it feels good, and it’s not just to make:
And then... like any... let's say "parallel thing"... or "para"... you just have to believe in it. Do you understand what I mean?
:-*, ClaudiaC

Good evening Claudiac,
In any case, I am not a kamikaze and I do not think I would do it.
Yes, I understand you, my dear.
With affection
Ladysally
