Mysuru: Here is a case that sounds as if it has come straight from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not TV show. A root from jungle is heated and tied to the arms of children suffering from jaundice, severe stomach ache and other ailments in the belief that Goddess Yellamma cures the pain and trauma. And believe it or not, according to patients who have undergone this painful practice, it actually cures!
This practice came to light when volunteers from Rural Literacy and Health Programme (RLHP) were conducting physical examination as part of ‘Anti Child Labour Day’ event organised by RLHP at Bal Bhavan at Bannimantap this morning.
