| For
measles, take a branch of the "male" Euphorbia hirta, zèb malnonmen, (which is
brownish, not whitish like the "female’’) and wash it. Take nine
grains of corn, two inches of pumpkins and 12 grains of barley, boil
them and use the water to draw the zeb malonmen. Take for no
longer than nine days. A similar tisane for measles used rice
instead of barley. The milky juice of this plant is used to
remove warts. Verna Slane 1987 |
