                    It is a fact that in Garhwal and Kumaun regions, there are exclusive folk-rites, folk rituals or folk-prose-song (Mantra) for healing various diseases. For example following mantra or folk rites is for healing stomach ache due to knots or displacement in intestines. Usually, it is said that when one intestine is knotted with other intestine, the person feels pain. It is the personal observation of this author that there used to be one or two specialist women healers in each Garhwali village who used to set the displaced intestines. The female healer would visit the ailing person early in the morning and would massage the belly of the ailing person. The ailing person would be empty stomach before going for healing.

               When the local healer fails to heal the stomach ache or fails to set the displaced intestine, there was call for Mantrik who used to be a Mantra chanting person and healer too (stomach massage expert).Such Mantrik used to chant Mantras or folk rites and used to do stomach massage too.
