    A cure for pain in the side
    You pick up two stones (two flat stones) and you spit on them and then rub them together and leave them on the road again. This cures the pain. Ken Walshe
    A cure for a burn.
    You boil laurel leaves in unsalted lard and fold it in a linen cloth and place it to the burned part. This is a very good cure and is commonly used in this district.
