Blood Letting In India
To cure illnesses…… Do you believe?
Kamini Khatoon lives in Amroha, a small town near Delhi. She was suffering from body ache for many years.
Khatoon consulted doctors, visited hospitals, tried allopathic and homeopathic medicines. She even travelled to sufi dargahs.
The pain did not leave. Then someone suggested visiting Rahat Open Surgery, an open-air clinic under the shadow of Jama Masjid in our city.
Now Rahat’s Mohd. Gyas is a kind 71-year-old man.
The genial hakeem made Khatoon stand in the sun for 20 minutes. Later, his son, Iqbal Bhai, tied her left leg with a strip of cloth, took out a brand-new Topaz blade, made a cut on her foot, and let the blood rush out.
The next morning the son did the same to her left arm. Again Kamini had to first stand in the sun – apparently to make the blood flow more easily.
The next day it was the leg’s turn again. Then arm.
Leg. Arm.
Leg. The silsila continued for a few days each month.
Khatoon now claims the pain has disappeared. It’s magic.
I do blood letting every fortnight; letting from generally sides of fingers and toes. It alleviate pain arising I believe stale blood that fails or sluggish blood flow especially at the remote part limbs.
It is not a cure but reduce pain.
Stumbled on it when nail folds hardened and accidentally peel-off; blood spewed out profusely. And pain ebbed.
Later found a Chinese book on blood letting.
