When I was a kid I had problems with walking so my maternal grandmother she burned my legs , and I also have some burnings on my stomach. Some people also get cut.

no I wasn't abused, thats just a tradition, I asked my mother the results of these burnings and she said I got better right away so I am kind of thankful

My Somali language instructor at Columbia had three burn marks on his neck, all perfectly round and about the size of a nickel. He also wore a square leather packet, about an inch on a side on a leather thong. If I understood correctly, all four had something to do with health.

I used to have Hirsi on my shoulder

[LiQaaye_TDH]

hirsi who?

[Advocatar]

hirsi is a superstitious somali traditions, They get a page of the quraan, fold it up and sew it under a leather skin in a square shape, then they create a necklace string for it and the child wears it for good luck purposes.


Me, I didnt walk till I was 2 and half, This old lady had seen my condition and talked to my mom, she came back the same afternoon and cut 9 lines on each of my thighs and knee cap, then she let it bleed, after that she put something in the wound, and Wallahi my mom said I was walking the next day.


I love somali medicine.
