I was born and raised in the farm and I saw our elders practice traditional healing processes like ” Tuob.”
“Tuob” actually involves inhaling vapor or steam from boiled water with either salt or herbs in it.
There are no clinical studies to prove it works and really heals people but old folks believed in it.
One thing is certain, wala pa akong narinig na kwento na namatay dahil sa Tuob.
So, what is my take?
If people believe in it, let them be! Anyway, it is not something that is being promoted with the purpose of gaining from it financially.
We in government have better and more urgent things to do than waste time and effort in trying to discredit a traditional healing practice used by our elders.
I am not promoting it because my two daughters who are both doctors who believe in clinical science will surely call my attention and ask me to stop.
But if some people believe in it, hayaan natin sila.
Basta importante, kapag may COVID 19 Positive case in our communities, let us implement the protocols instituted by our health authorities.
I don’t see any conflict at all.
