  2. Herbs

    Share Share Post
    Some herbs are very useful for curing. Old people mix medicine from herbs and give it to the person that is suffering.
    I know an old woman who cures warths with a small plant. When the stem is broken a kind of milk comes out which she rubs on the warths.
    There is a plant called "groundsill" which is used to cure birds from sickness. It grows about six inches high and little stems with yellow ends springs from the thick stem. It is a wild plant and is easily got.
