Since young, if we have stomach problem, I would hear mummy or ah yi saying... Ah yah.... must be a lot of 'wind' in the body. They would help rub some special oil on my tummy, and after a while, I will hear myself being a butt trumpet.....** hehe **
Ginger is known to help getting rid of 'Wind' in the body. For most of our home cook food, ginger is always one of the ingredients. No matter if it's soup, pork, chicken or vege. And we have learned to eat lots of ginger.
So, Ms. Nee Nooi's have been having some swell on her feet and ankle for quite sometimes. It normally doesn't bother her too much, until lately she felt pain even by just going for a walk around the park. Our neighbour who lives opposite of our parents house has recommended this famous Chinese Sensei, who has known to help cure a lot of swelling of the body that western medicine cannot cure.
Nee Nooi decided to give it a try.... The chinese sensei's office is in KL, about 30km from where we live. And they have been told to get there as early as 7am just to wait in line. True enough! When NeeNooi and mummy got there in the morning at 7am, there were about 10 people waiting in line! Mum was really surprised! As mummy chatted with the people in line, she found out that most of them had either swelling feet or mild stroke before.
The famouns chinese sensei is about 60 yrs old, and he took time to see each patient, checking patients' pulse and telling patients' what is wrong with their body just like all other chinese sensei. The cost of seeing the doctor is only RM5.00.
The chinese sensei explained to NeeNooi and my mum that most swelling and stroke are caused by wind in our body. In order to get rid of the wind that is trapped, one has to go through the ginger treatment. The mediciation includes preparation of 9kg of ginger, mixed with some herbs and bai jiu(Chinese white wine). Both hands and feet will be wrapped using the mixed herbs and ginger for the next 24 hrs. All the toxic wind will then be clear from one's body and you will feel much better!
Cost of it?? RM300.00!!! And be without being able to move freely for 24 hours..
Since there have been so many living proof, NeeNooi decided to give it a try! Besides having a massage on the same day by the chinese doctor which she had to wait till 4pm, they had to come back the next morning, to have the wrapping done!
So, NeeNooi and mummy arrived at the Chinese Sensei office the next day at about 7am! Early early! And the wrapping process started around 9am.... and lasted for 24 hours ....
here are some pictures...
NeeNooi's Hand and Feet are being wrapped..........
Story doesn't end here. Never have I thought, how uncomfortable would NeeNooi feel? Turned out to be, that's the longest 24 hours that she has ever been through!
Just try imaginging your hands and feet being wrapped like that, how do you eat? go to the restroom? Sleep!!! Poor NeeNooi, can't even sleep in her own bed. Luckily mummy was there to help her with everything. Feeding her, helping her with going to the restroom... that's what sister are for! :) hehe.
The unwrapping process....
After 24 hours, mummy helped NeeNooi to unwrapped, eewwww... look at the color
NeeNooi said she felt much better after the wrapping process, and that her feet doesn't swell anymore!
I asked NeeNooi what was the first thing that she did after she was unwrapped? She said..... take a dump!!! haha...
