- There are a lot of harmful weeds growing in my garden at home. The most harmful weeds are the chicken-weed, crow-foot, dandelion, docken and nettle.
People that have had bad stomachs use dandelion. They pull the leaves of the dandelion, boil them, strain the juice and drink half a glass every day.
To cure the sting of a bee, a wasp or a nettle, get the leaf of a docken, rub the juice of it on the sting and it will cure it.
To cure a burn get roach lime, milk of a dandelion and sweet oil, mix them and rub the mixture on the burn. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
