| Details |
Marappa Gounder (58) is a renowned animal healer of the region. He has developed many herbal healing practices in consultation with other local healers. If a buffalo is suffering from prolapse of uterus, then the first thing Marappa does is to clean the uterus with water. Then, 100g cane sugar juice is sprinkled over it and it is pushed inside the womb safely. Besides this, 500g of fresh leaves of thottal surunki (Mimosa pudica L.) is fed to the affected buffaloes for one or two days. The floor of cattle shed is modified so as to keep the hind portion of the body high.
