EN: to undergo steam inhalation; to be fumigated
This is lola's cure-all. Got a cold? 'Suob'. Feeling run down? 'Suob'. It’s the traditional Filipino practice of steam inhalation, where you put a towel over your head and inhale steam from a basin of hot water, often with salt or medicinal leaves. It’s like a DIY spa treatment and decongestant in one. It can also mean to fumigate a room to drive away pests or bad spirits.
Also known as 'tuob' in other dialects. The practice is a form of traditional healing.
