TO ALLEVIATE ILLNESS

Take a coin you have found on the ground and put a pinch of salt on it. Then transfer the salt into a small amount of boiling water, and let it dissolve. When the water has cooled, use the coin to flick the saline solution onto the palms of your patient's hands and on the soles of his or her feet.

Yet another traditional remedy uses candle magic. On a blue candle, use a pin to inscribe -- moving from the base to the tip -- the name of the person who is ill. Pierce the candle with the pin and leave it there. Let the candle burn down and extinguish itself, and keep the pin for future spells.
