Be Your Own Healer, part 2

Let us begin with something simple: what to do when you feel pain in some place on your body. To cure a headache, you need to mix red nettles with vinegar and the white of an egg. Apply such an ointment until the pain subsides. For a painful stomach you can brew a tincture from bishopswort – it will steady the juices inside you and help with digestion. Chewing willow bark is an all-round pain reliever. Hemlock also has quite a variety of uses – it may help with bad sleep and pain. But be careful with this one – use too much and you will never wake up.
