  1. Local Cures - Warts

    Share Share Post
    I was told that if you had warts get nine ivy leaves and rub nine times with each leaf on each wart and while rubbing say "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost" and after three days rubbing they will disappear. When finished with the leaves you should throw them in the fire.

    Another cure for warts is get nine ivy leaves and spit on them and then rub them on the wart. Rub the nine leaves on the wart once in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. When finished bury the leaves where nobody will get them.
