[Avodah] FW: : [Areivim] rain can really be a blessing

[SBA]

From: Ben Waxman 
I know that rain after Pesach is not seen as a good thing, but last night's
shower was simply great.

The sefer Imrei Pinchos (Reb Pinchos Koritzer zt'l-  collection) - beshem
the Zohar - brings that rains between Pesach and Shovuos are gishmei brocho
and a cure against ailments. It says that during rain in Iyar one should
slightly uncover their hair  and open their mouth to catch some of the drops
(I dunno about women and hair..).

Generally the month of Iyar (Roshei teivos Ani Hashem Rofecho) is a segula
for refuos (Ayen Taamei Haminhagim page 251). 

Interestingly the TH there adds: "Ve'ata be'avonoseinu harabim omrim
'Chodesh May hu mesugal lerefuah...  Anyone hear of that?)
