hebuk1vTo cause (Tboli medicine) to smoulder, smoke (by placing it on a live coal or a burning ember); to burn incense.Hebukem do bulung yê.Smoulder me with mother's medicine.If the sickness is believed to be caused by the Owner of Sickness and an offering of food is required for the cure, often the sick person will be treated with smoke as a temporary measure until they are able to get the proper foods for the offering. In this situation they take eight kernels of unhusked rice, place these on coals in a serving spoon, then blow on the coals until the kernels are hot enough to burst open. These are fed to the sick person in order to make him perspire. But he will not be considered cured until the proper offering has been given.; This treatment is also used at threshing time when the threshed rice is still in a pile just previous to storing it. They smoke tolu 'honeycomb' over the pile of rice. The symbolization is that just as it takes a long time to use up a piece of honeycomb, so it will take a long time before the rice will be used up.; This is a common form of treatment for either people or animals when it is believed that the sickness is des snebet 'sickness caused by being intercepted by a spirit-being'. The traditional medicine is placed on the smoldering end of a piece of firewood. The person treating the sickness blows on the embers until the medicine begins to smolder, then the smoke is blown over the one who is sick, who breathes deeply of the smoke and the fumes. It is believed that the strength of the supernatural force utilized in the medicine is carried by the smoke.
