FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Wild Garlic (allium usinum)
This herb was well known to the Celts,
Teutonic tribes and ancient Romans.
They gave this unassuming,
wild plant of the lily family
the name
herba salutaris, "healing herb".
Wild Garlic should be eaten fresh in the spring,
before the plant starts to bloom.
Take a handful to eat with bread
or add it to your salad.
Wild Garlic cleanses the blood and intestines.
It improves the intestinal flora and
is effective
against acne, fungus and eczema.
It lowers high blood pressure,
fights
arteriosclerosis, and increases the
body's immune system.
Wild Garlic in Olive Oil
To have your Fountain of Youth
available all through the year,
harvest the leaves prior to blooming.
Cut leaves into small pieces,
put them in a bottle
with a wide neck and
add cold-pressed olive oil.
Close and protect from light.
Take one tablespoon daily.

WARTS
Wild Garlic Juice
During full moon at midnight,
apply fresh wild garlic juice to the wart.
You can substitute freshly squeezed juice
from a domestic garlic clove if necessary.
Apply the juice several times.
Make sure the warts are exposed
to direct moonlight
in open air for
at least 3 minutes.
During these 3 minutes,
tell you body to stop nurturing these
warts,
tell the warts to leave,
A simple charm is sometimes helpful:
"Wart, wart, go away
You can't stay or disobey
Wart, wart, do away."
