Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for bringing out something most will find difficult to believe! Shoe smell helps to recover in villages, since villagers walk on soil rich with sulphur and phosphorous. Other minerals also matter. The soil which releases typical smell when it receives first rain, is most effective. This practice helps to recover from the convulsion rapidly. Those who work in Goushalas never face epilepsy, due to the strong smell of cow urine. Same thing can be said about those spending time in a farm where Tulsi grows, or Neem trees exist in plenty. Other than shoes, there are other smells too, which are found effective in experience. Crtain compounds of sulphur and phosphorous appear to be the common factors here too. However, shoe smelling is most common and scientific basis behind it has been subject of a paper in " Clinical Neurology and neurosurgery " last year! for reading it online, please visit: http://aromatherapy.ir/article/Aroma%2005.pdf Author was surprised to see that paper is published from a modern medical college, but ayurvedic institutes have not found this topic worth researching so far. _________________________________ It used to be said that the time of epilepsy attack, make the patient smell a shoe and that helps.
