Susuk

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Malayan culture, susuk, or charm needles, are needles made of gold or other precious metals, which are inserted in the soft tissues of the body to act as talismans. Susuk has various supposed purposes, ranging from the purely aesthetic to the treatment of joint pain and other minor ailments or to protect against injury and accident. Because the practice pre-dates the Islamicization of the region, it is prohibited by modern Islamic scholars as forbidden (haraam). With the advent of medical uses of radiography, the presence of susuk must be taken into account, as they may be mistaken for undesired foreign bodies.
