Thaman's grandmother would chew leaves to release their juices, which she would apply to the sores of the women.

Thaman mentions "wise men," the doctors of modern medicine, who say "there might be something / to my grandmother's cure." She says she hopes one day they will be sure, like her grandmother was.
