Jaundice:- (1) First of all you get those worms which have a knot on. It is not really a knot but a ring. It is not every worm that will have it. You get these worms and boil them in buttermilk. When the mixture is made up you give the person that is affected the soup to drink, if it is soup.
(2) Get a weed which is called the blue bell. I never heard it called anything else. You boil this weed in milk and then you give it to the person who is affected to drink.
