  2. Folk Cures and Charms - Stone Bruises

    Share Share Post
    The roots of the orange lily used to be sometimes used as a poultice for a stonebruise or other similar septic sore - for bringing the thing "to a head", that is drawing the poison to the surface. Then for drawing out and draining off the pus a common practise was to apply a poultice of black snails sliced.
