This spell can be used to improve the health of an elderly person as well as to keep harm away from someone who is housebound.
Take a horseshoe or an iron nail and bless it by immersing it in salty water. Bury it in the garden of the sick person or in a potted plant. Leave the tip poking out of the earth to act as a conductor to disperse the energy. Say when you bury it:
Ill health
I do tell
Run through this iron
(name of person) is free and well.

Before beginning a healing spell always say:
"Spirit, please assist in this healing for
If they are to receive this healing energy
Then guide my thoughts and words to them
If they are not to receive this healing energy
Please give the energy to someone else who is in need.
You know best."
Take a picture, statue or any symbol of an angel. Cleanse and consecrate it, then empower it in the name of healing. Ask the angel of healing, or your Guardian angel to help the sick person. Tell them that you are giving this as a gift to the sick person and ask for their blessing and healing energy on that person and the angel.

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups yellow parts of dandelion blossoms
3 cups boiling water
4 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
1 pkg powdered pectin
yellow food coloring (optional)
NOTE: Look for fully opened flowers, the bigger the better, for ease of preparation. Of course do NOT use any dandelions that have been sprayed with fertilizers or pesticides!
Get lots and lots of blossoms.. If you get too many, you can always freeze the extras and use them later.
Because the green parts have a bitter flavor, you'll want just the dandelion petals for the jelly - not the whole flower head. The easiest way to do this is to hold the flower by the end near the stem, and trim the petals into a bowl or cup, with sharp kitchen scisscors.
Place jars and lids on rack in pan or stockpot deep enough to cover them with about two inches of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, keeping the jars hot until ready to fill.
Pack the blossoms into a 4 cup measure. More blossoms mean more flavor for the jelly. Pour boiling water over petals and let steep from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving the infusion. (If not using immediately, the dandelion water can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
Alternatively, you can bring the 3 cups of water to a boil in a two-quart nonreactive or stainless steel pan and fill the water with a portion of the dandelion blossom shreds. Simmer over very gentle heat about 10 minutes. Pour the water and blossoms through a strainer. Press the blossoms as dry as possible to extract the maximum amount of water.
Add more blossoms to the strained water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Continue simmering and straining until all the blossoms are used up. Add more water to make up 3 cups. You lose some water because it is caught in the blossoms.
Strain the dandelion infused water very well (a coffee filter works great for this). Combine water with lemon juice and sugar in a two-quart nonreactive or stainless steel pan. Bring to rolling boil that cannot be stirred down and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the pectin and continue to boil two minutes, skimming any foam that may rise to the surface. Add 10 to 20 drops of yellow food coloring (optional).
Ladle quickly into preheated jars to within about 1/8 inch from the top; clean each rim and threads of the jar as it's filled, and place flat lid and ring on each before filling the next. Screw band on tightly and invert jar on tea towel for about five to 10 minutes. Jars should seal and lids should pop shut within 10 minutes as they cool. If they do not seal, you can place them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes or place in the refrigerator.
Sealed jars will last up to one year in a cool, dark place. Put any unsealed jelly in the refrigerator. it should keep about three weeks. Makes six or more half-pint jars.

Folk medicine consists of traditional healing beliefs and methods used in past cultures mostly by people deemed to have the healing power. As an part of a culture's knowledge and values, folk medicine is a system based on traditional modes of conduct, of coping with sickness. Often sanctioned by the population's claims or religious beliefs, these popular practices are used to alleviate the distress of disease and restore harmony in people who are emotionally or physically ill, or both. Folk medicine's lore is widely known among members of a culture and is usually handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.
In general, the system is flexible, allowing the introduction of new ideas about sickness and healing practices, many of them borrowed from classical and modern medicine.
HEALERS
To implement the various folk curing practices, most social groups have established a hierarchy of healers--beginning with the individuals affected, their immediate families and friends, knowledgeable herbalists, members of the clergy, faith healers, and SHAMANS, or medicine men. Many are consulted because of their empirical knowledge of roots and herbs possessing medicinal properties. Others are considered endowed with healing gifts because of station or accidents of birth. The belief that posthumous children have such talents is widely known in the United States. In the European folk-medical tradition, seventh sons and daughters are said to possess unusual curing powers; the same applies to twins. Often spouses and children of known healers are automatically considered to have similar gifts. As in primitive medicine, many people affected by ailments that are considered minor and natural treat themselves, with the help of family members. A vast array of easily available herbal preparations known to most members of the culture is used to effect a cure. More difficult cases suspected to be of a magico-religious nature are referred to local healers who are endowed with special powers. These shamans stage a variety of ceremonies and employ many of the techniques used in preliterate social groups.
NAVAJOS
Native American folk medicine is popular in the less acculturated Indian tribes. A notable example are the Navajos still living in their homeland.
Disease is considered a disruption of harmony caused either by external agents such as lightning and winds, powerful animals and ghosts, and witchcraft, or by the breaking of taboos. Three categories of folk healers are usually consulted: first the herbalists, for symptomatic relief of minor ailments; if no improvement is observed, then the hand trembler, or diviner, is called; finally, the singer, or MEDICINE MAN, will carry out specific healing ceremonies suggested by the hand trembler's diagnosis. Ritual sweatbaths, drinking of herbs, and elaborate sandpainting ceremonies characterize Navajo folk healing.
HOT COLD THEORY
The hot-cold theory of disease ranks among the most popular systems of contemporary folk medicine in the United States. In health, the human body displays a balanced blending of hot and cold qualities. Sickness will ensue if an excess of hot or cold foodstuffs is ingested. The basic scheme was introduced into Latin America by the Spanish during the 16th century. Reinforced by native cultural values, it became firmly embedded in popular Latin healing traditions. The hot-cold scheme is applied to foods, diseases, and remedies. The terms hot and cold do not necessarily refer to the temperature of foods or remedies. Qualities are assigned on the basis of origin, color, nutritional value, physiological effects of the food or remedy, as well as therapeutical action. Among New York Puerto Ricans, for example, bananas, coconuts, and sugar cane are considered cold, whereas chocolate, garlic, alcoholic beverages, and corn meal are hot. Cold-classified illnesses such are arthritis, colds, and gastric complaints must be treated with hot foods and remedies. Their hot counterparts --constipation, diarrhea, and intestinal cramps--require treatment with cold substances.
BLACK AMERICANS
The medical folklore of black Americans contains elements derived from popular European and African beliefs, blended with religious elements belonging to Christian Fundamentalism and West Indian voodoo. The world is seen as a dangerous place, prompting individuals to constantly exert caution because of the whims of nature, frequent divine punishment, and the threat of witchcraft practiced by hostile humans. Individuals are urged to look out for themselves, be distrustful, and avoid the wrath of God. Sickness is broadly divided into "natural" and "unnatural." The former comprises bodily conditions caused by environmental forces as well as God's punishment for sin. Unnatural illness represents health problems caused by evil influences and witchcraft after the loss of divine protection; the magical intrusion of "animals" into the body and the placement of a certain hex play prominent roles in the causation of disease.
MEXICAN AMERICANS
Folk medicine is still popular among large groups of Mexican-Americans in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, and especially in West Texas. Their healing system, based on pre-Columbian indigenous lore, reflects a degree of isolation and unwillingness to assimilate Anglo-Saxon culture. Moreover, the inability of scientific medicine to offer relief for various categories of folk illness further enhances the usefulness of these practices. Five types of folk illness are most prominent: mal de ojo (evil eye), empacho (gastro-intestinal blockage due to excessive food intake), susto (magically induced fright), caida de la mollera (fallen fontanel, or opening in or between bones), and mal puesto (sorcery). Prominent among Mexican-American folk healers is the curandero, a type of shaman who uses white magic and herbs to effect cures. In the cosmic struggle between good and evil, the curandero, using God-given powers, wards against harmful spells and hexes. As in other folk systems, faith in the curandero's abilities is the essence of the healer's continued success.
FOLK MEDICINE TODAY
Folk medical systems, especially those ftinctionffig in a pluralistic society comprising several distinct ethnic groups (as in the United States), govern domestic healing activities to a great extent. Recently, the increasing complexity, technicality, and cost of modem medicine have spurred renewed attempts at self-medication and the use of herbal preparations, thus reviving folk medical practices.
A number of folk remedies used *in the past are now manufactured as pharmaceutical preparations prescribed by physicians. For example, rauwolfia is an extract of the snakeroot plant, which was used for centuries in the Far East for its calming effect. It is now prescribed by physicians to lower blood pressure. Reserpine, a derivative of rauwolfia, has been used by psychiatrists 'in treating severe mental disorders. Foxglove was first brewed by Indians to treat dropsy, fluid in the legs caused by heart problems. This practice occurred for hundreds of years before it was discovered that foxglove contributed the active ingredients now known as digitalis. Today digitalis is commonly used to stimulate weakened hearts.

There are honesysuckles native to almost the entire world -- like there are people. It is known for its fragrance, medicinal qualities, and beauty. But move one species from one place to another and it becomes an unwanted, undesirable, overbearing, clinging guest that is almost impossible to get rid of. Like unwanted house guests... reminds me of my ex-wife actually, in more ways than one... but you'll hear about that next.
It is an educational experience to study this plant because you have to recognize and confront its schizoid qualities. It's all over the place, but when it's good its very, very good, and when its bad, its very, very bad. Honeysuckle feeds birds 'n bees, 'n moths, 'n butterflies, 'n other critters, and some of them live in its shady hidey places. It makes people happy, even falling in love on a nice evening walk, and, as you'll read below, some herbal doctors use it to help people cope with the past because it can sooth them out of their fixations on such stuff. But, it grows like crazy when it's where it isn't supposed to be, drowns out the sunlight and kills the plants it grows on or around, destroys the food and housing for the animals that depend on the native plants, and generally takes over and destroys native habitats.
So, honeysuckle is great in the garden, and in nature, when its various species are in their homelands (because the climates there keep it in its place), but its hell on wheels once it gets outta hand in a more luxurious climate - kind of like all the tourists from the mainland when they get to Honolulu or Maui, Hawaii. Ugghhhh.
The lesson I get out of studying honeysuckle is that how we look at or value something - whether its good or bad, favorable or unfavorable, desirable or undesirable - depends on the circumstances. I gotta say, this has to be a feminine plant.
