Internally:

To assist as a preventative, take according to the "old manuscript" in

the morning and evening, 1 teaspoonful diluted with water. For

indisposition of any kind, 3 tablespoons diluted with water can be

taken. For serious diseases, 2 to 3 tablespoons are taken as follows: 1

tablespoon diluted with half a cup of herb tea, half of it is sipped

half an hour before and the other half an hour after each meal.

Compress:

According to area, a piece of cotton wool or gauze is moistened with

Swedish Bitters and applied to the affected area which has been well

covered with lard or Calendula ointment. A slightly larger piece of

plastic is put over it to prevent the clothes from getting stained.

Then a cloth is wound around or a bandage is used.

The compress can be left on,

depending on illness, for 2 to 4 hours. If tolerated, the compress can

stay on overnight. After removal the skin is powdered. Should people

with sensitive skin still develop a rash, the compresses have to be

used for a shorter period only or moistened for a time. People who are

allergic to plastic should leave it off. Never forget to grease the

skin beforehand. If an itching rash has already developed it can be

treated with Calendula ointment.*there are other herbs on occasion added/omitted.**Instead of Aloe, Genetian root or Wormwood powder may be used.

***Only natural Camphor should be used.Swedish Bitters Recipe

This

mixture is put into a wide-necked 2 liter bottle and 1 1/2 liter of 38%

to 40% rye or fruit spirit are poured over it. The bottle is left

standing in the sun or near the stove for 14 days and shaken daily. The

liquid is then strained and poured into small bottles, well stoppered

and stored in a cool place. This way it can be left in the bottle until

needed. The longer it stands in the bottle, the more effective it

becomes! Shake well before use! Alternatively some of the liquid can be

strained into a small bottle and used as needed for many years.
