Health articles on this blog summarise published sources and how different countries approach a topic. They are not a basis for diagnosis or treatment.

Traditional remedies and cultural practices are described as practices that exist. Describing one is not a claim that it works.

If symptoms persist or get worse, talk to a clinician. If you think it is an emergency, seek care immediately.

If you take prescribed medication, do not stop or change it on the basis of anything you read here.
