illicit:
Placebo

Not just placebo effect, but the subtle power of African magic.

If a child is crying in Africa, the mere look from the mother's face will shush the mouth. You look Oyinbo child like that and he/she will increase the volume.

Let us not underestimate what we have. This is how it started and we ditched our local deities and started carrying spiritual books with fictitious stories. Those stories have more placebo effects than these ropes our grand parents used.

Make the baby cry and it will stop. Hiccup occured when air is swallowed, aside other reasons.

They do it because it works...

It's a natural remedy for hiccup passed down on your mothers from different generations before Oyibo came with their medicine.

It doesn't have to come from overseas and a whiteman before you believe it works.

Same way you can cure cold and flu by placing onion under your foot.


It's like asking a lion why it's chewing a leaf when it feels it has stomach ache or pains.


With your pig brain when you travel abroad and your child develops uncontrollable Hiccups and you take them to the hospital and a whiteman place same stuff on your child's head and it helps stop the problem.


You'll shine your 32 and happily hand them $1000

Why all the insults? Can’t you just make your points politely?

My grandmother once forbid myself and my brother from taking our medications at the same time.

Reason: it will work on one person only.

Before cotton threads were made what were they using then?

You don't have to insult and vent your venom on everyone on sm. I can bet you are not using stones and cowries to express your opinion on NL.

illicit:
Placebo

It is not placebo?



Placebo effect is experienced by people who actually have or feel like they have a medical/health/psychological issue. The placebo is administered by someone of trust like a doctor or pastor who then tells the patient that he is giving them medicine.




Babies don't have such knowledge.

Water na the modern solution. Drink water he go go

It works alot even for adults

All I know, we black didn't believe in our self.

Mayeldah:

They must have used something else. Then someone experimented with cotton threads.





The whites don't want us to know that we were versed in our own type of medicine. In fact, we had our own anaesthesia for surgery before the whites ever dreamt of coming to our shores.

princeemmma:
Have you seen any parent do this when there baby have hiccup, do you think it works?

I asked my mum then and she couldn't explain the relationship between that and hiccup

So I can't give my opinion again?

I disagree with you on this simply because
How would the brain be aware that something is placed on the head. Most times the child will be unaware that something is placed on him, you mught want to say the scalp will feel the thread , but what if the child has much hair on his her ?so how would the brain detect this...??

TotoIsGud4boy:
The white thread serves as a form of distraction for the child’s brain.
As silly as it may sound, the distraction helps to reduce hiccups.

Children as you know are naturally curious. And placing the white thread on either their forehead or hair triggers some sensation that the child may want to know and find ways to adapt.

So the brain direct its activity or concentration towards finding out the new thing on the head. And that tricks the phrenic and vagus nerves to act towards that.
That combination of concentration and distraction cause by the white thread as noted help reset the brain to stop or reduce the number of hiccups.

Genzy will always question traditions that worked for our parents. To them, all traditions are myth. lol
