Q. See question above. Thanks for the answer. Is it also true what I heard that there is a Segula (protection or charm) for healing to stand during the days from Pesach to Shavuos, outside when it rains and have the rain fall on you? Could that really be true?
A. Surprisingly, in Imrei Pinchas (305) Rav Pinchas of Koritz zt'l mentions that there in no better Refuah even for diseases that have no cure, than to stand on those days with a slightly uncovered head and let the rain fall on it, while also opening one's mouth to let the rain drops go straight in (some say to the right side of the mouth).
The above is also quoted by Seggulos Yisroel (Gimel; 34).
Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 3: 42: 6, 7) mentions that the Pappa Rebe zt'l related how his father the Vayaged Yaakov followed the above and indeed was healed.
