- It is said that a dockleaf will cure the sting of a nettle. A cold stone or a coin will reduce a lump on the head. To cure sore eyes look through a gold ring or wash them with tea leaves. To cure warts, collect as many pebbles as you have warts, put them in a little bag and leave them at a crossroads. The first person that will pick up the bag will take the warts. Another cure for warts is to hang a snail on a tree.A cure for chilblains is to rub methylated spirits well into them. Another cure for chilblains is to cut a raw onion in halves and press it to the chilblains
