Dukhan (traditional medicine)
Dukhan is ritual bodily practice known in which the body is smoked with a special (scented) species wood. The ritual is mainly practiced by married women and women preparing for marriage in northern Sudanese provinces.,〔Transforming Displaced Women in Sudan: Politics and the Body in a Squatter Settlement by Rogaia Abusharaf〕 although men also conduct it occasionally to treat rheumatic pain. The technique is considered a traditional medicinal technique in Southern Sudan 〔(Dukhan as traditional medicine )〕
The practice of taking a dukhan has many health benefits such as smoothing the skin, and narrowing of the vagina with women (the latter being useful after childbirth)〔(Dukhan used after childbirth )〕 It also gives the skin a pleasant scent (due to the wood species used, usually shaff and talh wood. Dukhan is said to also be useful for treating syphilis, gonorrhoea and rheumatic pain. In this circumstance, various medicinal plants (such as tundub, natron) are used instead. Dukhan is often followed by dilka (scented massage).〔(Dukhan description )〕〔(Dukhan and dilka )〕
The ritual goes as follows: a woman is anointed with karkar (scented oil) and takes place naked (only covered with a shamla -which is a thick local woolen blanket-) on a seat with a hole in the center. Below this seat, a fire is lit in a pit and scented wood is placed on it, producing smoke. She remains seated until the heat becomes unbearable.
