  1. Some Cures

    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of plants used for cures. "The Golden Rod" is used for the heart. You have to pluck the "Golden Rod" and let it wither and then draw it like tea and let it cool and when it is cold they drink it. "Clanchis" is used to keep cuts from bleeding. You have to chew it up and put it on the cut. Nettle roots are boiled and drank to cure the measels. I was cured myself of the whooping cough by getting a bit of bread from a man that had a black and white horse.
