    Chilblains:-
    Wash your feet in the water that nettles were boiled in and you will never have chilblains.
    Rheumatism
    Put the shape of the person in the bed with nettles and cover them with a light cloth. Put the person to bed and keep him (or her) very warm. The nettles will draw out the pain.
    HIves :-
    Gather a big bundle of fresh nettles and boil them. Take off the water and put it in a bottle. Take it fasting every morning for nine mornings.
    Eczema:-
    There is a herb called "fauchtus" which when boiled has a bitter taste. Take the leaves and the water and put all in a bottle and every night before retiring take some of it.
