Spitting of Blood

The spitting of blood was thought to be cured by drinking sage tea sweetened with honey.

Plantain, taken internally, was also thought to stop the bleeding. An unpleasant cure involving plantain was once thought to be an effective remedy. The juice of plantain was mixed with mice droppings that had been ground to a powder. This was taken before going to sleep at night and in the morning before breakfast.
