Yogambal, Polyarthritis

My name is Yogambal, from Thiruppanandal. My town is in Thiruvidaimarudur taluk, Thanjavur district, and I have come here from there. I had it looked at a great deal and nothing helped my pain. Then I had it seen in Thanjavur itself, and nothing helped. Here our elder brother said, in a place called Vilachery they do massage, mother, it will be good. They said the one called Biju sir sees to it well. So I said all right, let us come and see, and we came here and took treatment. In ten days — my arm would not come that far, I could not comb my hair or tie it. My left arm would not come and my right arm would not come much either. Now, in about a week, it is good. The attention is of the very best. Likewise the young people who do the massage, and the nurses, all of it is good; from the food to cleaning the room, from the nurses to the ones who come and ask, all of them attend and see to you well. There is nothing at all lacking. And the oil, the medicine — from time to time these young people bring it and give it. We take it, and even if we forget, at the time appointed for the treatment those young people wake us and give it. The nurses give all the tablets. They attend and ask carefully — mother, have you drunk water, have you taken your medicine? They ask like that. They take a great deal of trouble over the work and come and ask. They knock at the door, and even the water, if it has gone cold, comes piping hot. If your head aches, if there is a headache, they apply a poultice. Not even at home, and at no hospital, have I seen anything like that. For medicine they will just give an injection straight away. Here, with the oil, one recovers well. Everything everyone has done here is a good thing — because of the herbal medicine, they give herbal water; everything done through herbs is good for the body. The body is well; the health of the body shows clearly within aweek.
