An Account of Strained Tendons
For strained tendons one recites a charm, and that helps. And this is accompanied by wrapping the affected limb in unwashed wool yarn: gray woolen yarn made from twilling three strands. Sheep’s wool has much power because Jesus talked so much about sheep and used them as metaphors. And those for whom Jesus died are called sheep, and their dwelling is called a sheep shed. And that is why sheep’s wool holds such power. And it is also good for clothing the body.
And if the affected area is very itchy, a remedy is to rub it with birch ashes. And if the problem still doesn’t go away, one must take a branchy growth known as Áhčeseani lávžegihppu [Áhčeseatni’s bundle of reins] and boil it and rub that mixture on the area. And another treatment is to take leaves from nine different kinds of trees and boil these together to apply to the area. And that helps with many ailments.
