Looking for someone to rub "Nara"

[wickedtuna]

Be mindful ....they won a court judgment ....u might get rubbed the wrong way ....

[meccalli]

The chiropractors that everyone go to and isn't accepted as a scientifically based physical practice do the same thing, it seems like they wouldn't be practicing today if it was all quackery, seems like they're better and cheaper physiotherapists than those who have letters behind their names. All I can say is that it happened to me as a kid, a lady in the village who 'rubs nara' did her thing and that was the end of that. Magic, science, pixie dust, placebo? You make your own judgements.

Sounds awful lot like a hernia

Hernias are rips in the actual fascia and the abdominal wall, if your intestines pop out and can be pushed back in, it doesn't repair the gaping hole that the intestines will protrude again eventually, even getting trapped if surgery is prolonged.

"Nara" with symptoms of vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea is what everyone else calls a hernia. A strangulated hernia is symptomatic with the above, which could lead to peritonitis and sepsis, if not the early signs of such.

If you want to believe that some ancient "skill" of belly rubbing will take the hernia away, you grew up in a very deep bush life where your parents were stupid and you could never escape their stupidity despite having access to the internet in 2018, unlike they. All your anecdotal evidence is nonsense.

Now just think for a minute that if you got offended by that, how stupid you really are, and that you can never pull yourself out of that pit of bobaloo autism your brain is stuck on. You're free to believe what you want though. Because you're stupid.
Why you don't rub black pepper and honey in your eyes too to remove a cataract and improve your eyesight? That's also ayurvedic and traditional, until modern medicine figured out things. I can imagine your offended rage right now because of how ignorant you are. Your logical center of critical thinking was never well developed so your base go-to reaction is to be offended with rage, rather than internal reflection on how to improve thyself. You will know who you are when you read this.

Who d fireball talking about hernia or strain? Anyways, the people who know, know yes.

[Rovin]

like ppl mixing up a hernia with nara , hernia seems like it does need medical attention while nara can be fixed by "rubbing"

nara can loosely be described as "navel shifting" or "abdominal moving out of alignment" , mostly caused by heavy lifting or incorrect lifting , when this happened u feel belly pain & u do get shittins

yrsss ago when i used to do welding works for a living i used to get it cause is heavy steel right thru

older heads must know in chaguanas area who was "hoose-look" , man had a gift , ppl from other countries used to come by him

this is another old man living in felicity [opposite invaders savannah i believe it is] just as good but age pick up with him [now in his 80s i think] so he no longer does it

there are very few ppl left in this country that do this ....

[meccalli]

The irony is that surgery or temporary physical constraint is the only option for hernias, you're telling me old indian grannies can invisibly perform laparoscopic surgery to repair the torn tissue? if Nara is terminology for a hernia, how does rubbing repair a gaping hole through which cavity contents are slipping through? The contents can't be held in place if the actual peritoneum is physically compromised.
Common abdominal hernias are for the most part asymptomatic apart from a visible bulge where the intestines are pushing through, entrapment causes complications. Nobody I know associates nara with hernias. Bulges are non existent. Even in the cases of internal hernias such as a sliding hiatial, it requires surgery to repair.
It's equally this sort of ignorant behaviour towards traditional medicine that discourages serious research into the physical phenomena and the associated non invasive treatment that has been reported to work for centuries- from accupuncture to ayurvedic medicine.

[maj. tom]

all the knowitalls who want a definition of "nara." Look it documented here.

http://www.guardian.co.tt/archives/comm ... -practices

These days it is becoming increasingly difficult to find people with the skill to rub nara (the Hindi word for the condition which arises from lifting too heavy an object or performing too strenuous physical activity which results in belly pain and diarrhoea) or to “crack” sprained backs and joints. These two traditional healing skills are only part of the set of traditional healing skills that the indentured labourers brought with them from India. Amazingly, today, some of the younger generation descendants of these indentured labourers are unaware of them.

You know what that is called by every licensed medical practitioner on Earth? A Hernia.

[Rovin]

well basically same thing i said in my post above so that just confirms it


in local parlance : going for a "crack" or "cracking" is also associate with nara but is more used for back , joints , strain & pulled muscles ....

This isn't a hernia. My father had an inguinal hernia repaired last year, it was asymptomatic apart from a painless bulge where the tear in the abdominal wall was. Nara happens almost immediately after the strenuous event, I lifted a large beam of iron when i was around 6 and got it, was remedied the next day. I continue to lift to this day, never had anything of the sort rear it's head. If it was a hernia, it most certainly would not have been repaired by a belly rub.

[Kronik]

Nara is not a hernia, I used to get Nara when I was younger and it was "rubbed" to set it back in place, it's a misalignment of the abdomen muscle. Apart from rubbing there are stretching positions that can be done to set it back in place that take less than 5 mins, it is just something that pops out of alignment.

imagine if we start the jaree( with the cocoyea broom eh) talk....this has done so much things for people what plenty doctors can't even do..

lol stop trolling nah.

As for the others, does this Nara thing only affect indians? Odd how no other culture or race has medical condition like this.

Hernias are rips in the actual fascia and the abdominal wall, if your intestines pop out and can be pushed back in, it doesn't repair the gaping hole that the intestines will protrude again eventually, even getting trapped if surgery is prolonged.

Chiropractors are quacks mostly. Some do try to improve their trade by learning science and proper sports massage technique, but that's basically a professional masseuse and no longer a 'chiropractor'. Physiotherapy, on the other hand, is based on research and evidence. I will trust that any day of my life over some quack who 'feel' this special back rub will fix my strain.

E.g. just an anecdote, but my aunt (was 40s) broke her ankle in all 3 places. As bad as you can get. She went to Mt. Hope, got her surgery, went to physical therapy in Dinsely and was walking perfectly in 4 months. Her younger cousin broke her ankle years later, 2 places. Went for surgery too. Didn't do physical therapy, but went to a chiropractor to rub it. Woman still couldn't walk without crutches after a year.

Herbal and Traditional medicine works because of placebo effects, and in very few instances have any medically worthy results (most I'm saying, not all because science-based medicine evolved from testing what worked in traditional medicine so obviously some were merited).

[meccalli]

Quackery isn't confined to chiro, they're in the conventional practice as well. There's a reason why your aunt's cousin remained with her problems, chiropractors don't perform surgery and neither do 'nara' persons, it dictates that placebos don't repair broken joints nor herniated cavities.
That being said, instead of ignorantly crying hernia, I actually looked into the phenomenon this morning.

Nara or navel displacement is said to be more frequent among women. Pregnant actually women tend to have issues postpartum related to the misalignment of the rectus abdominus or the corset muscle. It actually moves the navel in many cases. Issues related to it include bloating, cramping and ibs which is associated with diarrhoea. It's called diastasis recti.

"There’s surprisingly little research on diastasis recti, which affects at least 60 percent of postpartum women."
“I found it appalling that I had to go on such a journey to get answers — talking to friends, to my OB, to a [physical therapist] and four plastic surgeons,” said Angst, who eventually got treated for the condition. “The information is not readily available. It wasn’t until well after my son’s first birthday that I had some answers.”

Angst’s struggle to understand this postpartum condition is not unusual. Though research suggests that at least 60 percent of women have DR six weeks after birth and 30 percent of women have it a year after birth, most women have never heard of the term.

As with many other postpartum complications that affect women, there is little good research on the condition. Women aren’t routinely screened for DR at the one standard postpartum visit that occurs around six weeks after birth. And if they do get a diagnosis, they are often told that core work — for instance, tons of crunches — will tone the tummy and thus, close the gap.

But core work done improperly or alone won’t necessarily fix the problem. In fact, it can even make things worse. And over the long term, DR can compromise the stability and function of the core, and is linked to a host of other problems that can crop up even years after childbirth.

Given that so many women are forced to learn about DR on their own, here is a guide for how to try to prevent it and address it from those who treat it."

All this from a 5 minute google session and some observation. I'm sure there's more to the actual phenomenon that traditional indian homeopathy has figured out how to deal with real symptoms of a physiological event that they learnt how to correct. Just shows how ironic it is, that science driven individuals can use a profound systematic method intended to dispel ignorance to shut themselves up into ignorance by refusing to look into an observable phenomenon. I'm sure if i dig some more I could find some published papers that associates nara with mups of some sort in an indian medical journal.

Is that when they say 'the womb drop'?

[meccalli]

Not familiar with the terminology, but it's probable, I've heard the term mentioned ealier, 'bucket drop".

What did the doctor say in medical terms ? That way you can search it on the internet … even on Reddit if you have a universal term beyond Nara ?

Last place I went for that was by Anmolesingh in Arouca. It have a father and a son with separate businesses. Haven't been in 3 years. Used the son last few times I went.

Don't know if "Boodoo" from Maracas St Joseph still doing that.

For a proper chiropractic adjustment, I never came across anyone in Trinidad who does it like Dr. Beau Hightower on Youtube. Man knows his stuff and is qualified up the wazoo.
