At some point, the theory appeared that a demon from a person can be expelled to pain - if it is forced to suffer the flesh, then the demon will also feel pain and run away. Such obsessed literally tortured - burned fire, stretched on the punch, drove the needles under the nails.

- Sealing the holy water of all holes. Funny ritual also comes from the Middle Ages. It was believed that in the body of a man there are 9 holes, through which the demon can enter. Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, anus and urethra - all these parts of the body were sealed with holy water and thus protected from demons.
