In the time of our grandmothers, this phrase that is pronounced so much today, ” I am stressed”, was not heard, because this ailment did not exist as such. But they did know how to recognize when someone suffered from this disease, which they did not know what to call and which they always blamed on nerves.
Lavender, oil and sun
Do you know how they fought it? With the very lavender that perfumed his closets. They took two handfuls of freshly cut lavender flowers and put them to soak in the sun in a liter of olive oil for three days.
Next, they passed it through a fine thread cloth, took more flowers and put them back into the strained oil so that it caught as much lavender essence as possible. And they put the bottle back in the sun for three more days.
Then, well strained, they gave the “stressed” person a cube of cane sugar with four drops of lavender oil to drink every morning, until his improvement was evident.
Egg yolk that soothes
Among the many foods that they were given to take to counteract fatigue, lack of concentration, headaches, etc., the egg yolk stands out, which quickly alleviates all these setbacks. As it should not be abused, an egg yolk should be taken every two days for two weeks.
