I think I took around 10 mangosteens or a bit more .. not sure exactly how much I took and after taking that amount and 2 pieces of agar agar, I began to feel a bit "uneasy"... Uneasy in terms of headache and a bit of giddiness. Then I prepared a hot drink of oats to drink... and that was it...
After work, I quickly went for an early dinner... took a big bowl of noodles and a glass of fresh soursop... During the evening, my shoulders felt like very "heavy".... and when I pressed them, I burped... Chinese says "Wind" (foong)
To release the "wind" from the body, my sister is very "lar sau one" (expert)... she used the old traditional way of releasing the "extra wind" by using a ceremic spoon and "wind ointment" (minyak angin) ... On and On, she "scraped" and "scraped" on my back starting with the neck and shoulders....
She exclaimed after a few strokes on my left shoulder...
'JUST LOOK AT THIS! TERRIBLE WIND WITHIN YOU!"
My right shoulder was bad too but not as bad as the left...
No, I did not feel any pain at all...
Instead it was a BIG relief...
My headache was gone after the "scraping" and many more BURPS!
It works!
Believe it or not.....
Moral of the story:
Mangosteens cannot be taken a lot at one time..
Best taken after a bout of Durians!
OMG!! You are so terrer la and eat so much!!! In KL, we call them DBKL. Muahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI always drank ginger water prepared from the ready mix and that helps me to burp & fart out. Shiok la.
Oh yeah hor... I have ginger packet too... but will not drink it tonight.. maybe tomorrow...
DeleteWhen I see 'not for the weak hearted' I lagi wana click and read.. Oohhh wind scrapping.. I have seen more gross ones.. Those cup ones.. A lot of circles on the back.. Lagi gross..
ReplyDeletehahaaha..ok ok.. I know you will be curious.. put like that sure makes everyone curious..
DeleteOh dear, looks bad...
ReplyDeleteI dunno is it the same as what i kanna before, that time i got fong mo...
fong mok is one patch one patch... yeah, something like that...
DeleteToo much durian, that is why!!! So so so heaty!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know too heaty or too cooling... :)
DeleteNot gross at all. with your sister around you don't have to worry about too much wind!
ReplyDeleteYeah, she is a good masseur...
DeleteAlamak, that shows how heaty your body is. Maybe due to eating too much durian and the crazy hot weather. You should have drunk some salt water after each durian session.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was due to too much cooling mangosteens that evening that cause my head to be heavy and giddy...
Deletemuahahaha.. while i started reading your post, i thought you were going to show us your "poo poo".. but luckily, you didn't "lau sai" but headache and kena wind only.. hmmm, your sister so good ah, she can "kuat sah", and boy, really very very red - meaning lots of wind??
ReplyDeleteShe said I have lots of bluff fire.. not wind.. hahaha... not sure which is which as long as I feel very much better now... no la.. how can I put up sai in my blog... smellyma! LOL..
Delete10 man-goes-teen not meant for ladies or what? Bananaz no got this windy problem after 10 mangosteen? Probably you makan angin too much that could be the real reason
ReplyDeletehahahaa... I guess you are very right, Bananaz! You always have an answer to everything!
DeleteI think its durian la
ReplyDeleteA mixture of everything... rojak!!
Deletei gotta try this someday...confirm all lobster red...coz everytime I went for a body massage it's the shoulders part that the tukang urut complain most! =p
ReplyDeleteCos we are computer addicts!! hahaha..
DeleteI thought what picture so gross, it's just the skin photo, ok la, not gross for me also, hehe!
ReplyDeleteI love skin scrapping, can expel winds and toxic and heatiness from within, but I'll leave it to the expert to do la, hehe!
Better to say gross first to prepare my readers.. :) But the thing is, I didn't feel any pain wor...
DeleteAiyohhhhhh never knew mangosteen can cause that!
ReplyDeletespeedy recovery
Maybe I took too much without any solid food...
DeleteLOL, tu la, many unfortunate things happen after eating durians/ mangosteens
ReplyDeletehahaha.. Local fruits ma... special sikit!
DeleteOh Claire, it looks so bad, like an awful burn!!! But if it helped...I cannot understand how it works, but am glad you are alright now!
ReplyDeleteYes, after that, my shoulders feel much better...
DeleteIndeed that look bad. Too heaty!! I been released wind once, using ceramic bowl and oilment.
ReplyDeletesometimes my hubby askes me to help him scrap too.
All these are traditional ways.. way since during my younger years...
DeleteAiyo...your skin become so red! I must remember not to eat so much mangosteens :)
ReplyDeletehahaha.. I am not sure what caused me to have so much wind inside my body that I felt giddy...
DeleteSee doc la ....
ReplyDeleteTablets too much no good..poison...
DeleteGood that your sis is there
ReplyDeleteYeah, she is the scraper.. hahaa..
Deletewhen I saw the pictures, I thought you got injured or what =.="
ReplyDeleteIndirectly injured.. hahaha.. but relieves a lot...
DeleteOuch, I would never allow that! I recalled sometime ago an Indonesian masseur tried the guasha method on me & I got so upset. I heard that mangosteen can't be taken in large amount too.....
ReplyDeleteOh really? But if you do not have any aches, do not guasha.. ;painful...
Deletethat's a good traditional way to cure the problem. My hubby used to like this method.
ReplyDeleteYou said no pain at all...but it looks very pain to me!! >.<
