BOIL CURE
BABKA LEAVES APPLIED TO BOILS DRAWS OUT INFECTIONS.
Submitter comment:
BABKA LEAVES ARE FOUND IN BACKYARDS AMONG THE GRASS. THEY ARE WIDE
(ABOUT 2 INCHES AROUND) AND SIMILAR TO THE LEAVES OF A DELPHINIUM.
BABKA LEAVES COME IN CLUSTERS. THERE ARE USUALLY THREE TO FOUR
LEAVES IN A CLUMP. YOU MUST WASH THE LEAVES BEFORE USING THEM.
SUPPOSEDLY, THIS CURE WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
"BABKA" IS A POLISH WORD.
