Against cuts and burns

Did you cut or burn yourself? Do you feel tired and listless? Read about what to do.

CUTS
Crush three cloves of garlic and mix with a little water. Put the crushed garlic in a linen bandage and place on the wound.

BURNS AND SMALL WOUNDS
Squeeze the juice from a few plantain leaves and mix with an egg-white. Wrap a piece of linen around the mixture and apply it to the wound.

LISTLESSNESS
Crush a piece of horse-radish. Eat twice or three times a day. After a week, you will feel better.
