Angelica archangelica
To protect all the habitants of a house, from disease in general, put a metal bowl of dried Angelica flowers in every room.
Another way could be to put powdered Angelica in a small yellow fabric sachet, sewn with the same colour hanging over the entrance door.
In Herbal Medicine the antiseptic and digestive properties of Angelica are very well established. Tradition considers it also to be an excellent elixir for a long life and for vitality, delaying ageing and death.
The prayer of Saint Pancrace
Put both your hands on the head of the suffering person while pronouncing the following prayer with conviction:
"Glorious Saint Pancrace and your devoted followers, please confer the soothing of the pain of this person. May the great pain be dissolved promptly."
The head ache is supposed to be gone within 15 minutes. The more the prayer is utilised the better it becomes.
Act upon the burn mark as quickly as possible: blow tree times, forming a cross, on the hurting spot while saying this prayer:
"Fire of God cool the heat of the wound like Judas lost his colours when he betrayed Our Lord in the olive garden (say the persons name) God has healed you with his powerful gift. Amen!"
The breath is magnetically charged by the person who does the blowing. Mothers have since always blown upon the burns of their children. Blowing in the sign of the cross adds even more power to it.
The Poppy
Put a small white cotton purse, sewn with white thread, under your pillow, the sachet should contain Poppy seeds.
The Poppy is a variant of the Opium flower (Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy) with similar narcotic virtues.
The Anise
Let 10 grams of Anise seeds macerate in 50 grams of alcohol for 5 days. Filter and keep stored in a small glass bottle, tightly closed.
Take 10 drops daily in a small glass of water every night before going to sleep.
The medicinal properties of Anise are numerous: it is an expectorant, stomachic, diuretic. Alone this plant has the ability to rid you of all the different things that can prevent you from sleeping.
Orange Blossom
Heat a glass of milk and add some orange blossom extract. Drink it before going to bed or even better once in bed.
Orange blossom is very ancient and well known, often employed in the rural parts of the world.
Hop
Put a handful of dried Laurel leaves together with the same amount of dried hop, into the stuffing of your pillow.
Laurel is a good antiseptic, considered a salutary plant for health issues. Hop cones has a well known hypnotic virtue, sovereign against insomnia.
Let a spoonful of hawthorn flowers infuse in a tea pot of hot water and drink two cups before going to bed.
Hawthorn is an excellent medicinal plant with calming virtues and has a regulating effect on stress. It has also been used as in good luck charms since very ancient times.
The Red Rose
The last Friday in the month, pick a red rose, symbol of pregnancy.
After having removed the petals, put the heart of the rose and its petals in a small red sachet and close it with a red ribbon.
Keep this sachet with you all the time during your pregnancy, preferably directly on your skin. It will protect your baby.
The rose and the colour red are both two symbols for love, manifesting here the force of the maternal love, assuring your baby's security. In France they say that happy babies are born in roses.
