Illness must be treated by a medical professional. None of these are meant to replace the advice or treatment prescribed by a physician. You are responsible for your health and should always exercise caution. Please do not use any of the following unless you are certain you have no allergies to them and not without the approval of your DR.
Ash Tree Leaves: place one tablespoonful of leaves in a bowl of water and leave it in the bedroom overnight while sleeping. In the morning it should be tossed out and then redone each night. Allegedly this will help to prevent illness.

Coriander: Carry the seeds in a small bag to ward off disease and migraines.
