Monday Coming from a Hispanic background we have a number of traditional heling traditions when a person becomes ill. As the book described empacho, one of many illnesses that many Hispanics treat at home using traditional medicine. It is when your digestion tract is blocked and you are unable to digest the food. Symptoms such as pain in the abdomen or feeling bloated experiencing diarrhea, vomiting or feeling nauseas may indicate you are empachada/o as we Mexicans say it. The way some Hispanics treat this is by messaging the stomach and drinking some type liquid oil as I remember when I was smaller that my grandma would cure me from this. They would lay me down in bed and message my stomach pushing downward so whatever was stuck in my digested tract would come out. Evil eye or as we call it mal de ojo is another well-known traditional illness that Hispanics have diagnostic and treated. It is when someone who is either envious and looks at you with their eyes and transmits that evil energy into you causing an evil curse. Some symptoms that Hispanics will look for is when a child is very unstable and doesn't stop crying, has high fever or diarrhea. This is very common on young children in Mexico and usually what many do to prevent the evil eye is to put a wrist bracelet made specifically for the evil eye to prevent someone from doing mal de ojo to the child and anyone wearing it. They also say that the curse can be removed or prevented if the person doing it touches you. When I was younger I clearly remember wearing one of the wrist bracelets that my grandma had got for me to wear. Susto is another very common illness that I grew up with around my family. It is when you suffer a traumatic event or get frighten from something and in turn it is believed that your soul leaves your body. Symptoms that accompanied the illness is not being able to sleep, having depression, losing appetite, feeling weak or even hallucinations. Some traditional cures that I remember was the calling of your name and praying using herbs (spiritual ceremony). Also many will use a curandero which is a folk healer who has experience in spiritual healing and is familiar with this illness.

According to what my grandmother told me, this meant that the person persecuted by the spirits that were wandering, and this person to be bad of this: while I slept jumped and could not eat well, the cure for this, was that My grandmother had to go to the house of a sick person and spray hot alcohol on her back and then pray prayers to her so that she could be cured. The second would be of empacho, this usually occurred in babies since many times at the time when the breast breastfed the baby, this could be sweating and this caused the milk to fall ill to the baby and this sick of empacho, but to cure to the babies, my grandmother simply rubbed the belly with lard and then gave them a few drops of olive oil and that's it. The last one would be a mal de ojo, which happens when people see a baby wrong or they envy him that he was very cute, for this he would simply put an egg in a glass of water and then pray and at the end They put the glass under the baby's crib. I have three sons: Alex 14, Angy 9, and Matteo 7, and definitely if I have used these treatments, during which my children have been younger and had to take them to my mom to cure them. The eldest got very sick from eating instant soups. Personally, only once in my life have I been sick with fright and my grandmother healed me. gr ^ ^ L wi OM x 1 search HEWLETT PACKARD TE prt sc delete fin f8 fo fio f7 1+ f6 15 10 backspace & % 5 8 [
