I was reading a fantastic book called Old Wives Tales.
Apparently there is a remedy for headache that does not involved any drug like paracetamol.
This cure has a royal pedigree, the Egyptian goddess Isis herself concocted the potion for Ea who once had a massive headache. I supposed it worked as it came to pass to generation to generation.
I wonder if anyone had tried this potion in recent time?!!!
Cure for headache
The potion:
Coriander berries
Berries of the Xaset plant
Wormwood
Berries of the Sames plant
Junifer Berries
Honey
Mix these together and then smear on the head.
Juniper berries and coriander seeds are also common ingredients in gin and may be part of the effectiveness of gin-soaked golden raisins as a remedy for osteoarthritis pain- a remedy that gives fresh new meaning to the term “feeling no pain”.
