[HS.01_010,01] Gather fresh juniper berries when they begin to turn blue, and remove the needles from the berries.
[HS.01_010,02] Once the berries are gathered, take a blue linen cloth and spread it out in a dry place where the sun shines, preferably over an old wooden table. Put the gathered berries on the cloth and spread them so that no berry covers another.
[HS.01_010,03] If the sun is already somewhat weaker at that season, you can increase the action of its rays by making a white wall about two ells high beside the table on which the berries are spread, directly facing the sun. This can easily be done by hanging up a linen sheet.
[HS.01_010,04] In the evening, take the blue cloth by its four corners and put the berries and the cloth into a glass bottle large enough to hold them both. Cover the bottle as well as possible overnight.
[HS.01_010,05] Expose the berries to the sun until they develop a wrinkled skin like peppercorns. You can then put the berries into the same bottle for further storage, without the cloth. Tie a piece of bladder membrane securely over the bottle and put it in a dry place. Berries prepared in this way can retain their full potency for many years.
[HS.01_010,06] Where the ailment just mentioned is rampant, eat three to seven of these berries in the morning. Grind some of them to powder as well and use the smoke to fumigate the rooms and the clothes worn when going out. However rampant the ailment may be in a place, anyone who uses the remedy as directed, with faith and trust in Me, observes the diet and abstains from the pleasures of Venus and other indulgences will be kept entirely safe.
[HS.01_010,07] Such berries, brought to a boil over a moderate fire in one Seidel of spring water, and then drunk, that is, the water alone, will also free anyone who contracts cholera from that ailment in a short time.
[HS.01_010,08] Boiled in water with a little wine, this remedy, that is, this juniper-berry tea, also heals plague, provided the ailment has not already reached its most advanced stage. Drunk as a tea, these berries also cure troublesome dropsy better than any other remedy. For dropsy, however, plain water is better than wine.
[HS.01_010,09] I can tell you another remedy for cholera, and it consists quite simply in the following.
[HS.01_010,10] Gather the small field chamomile, taking only the white parts of the flowers and the yellow pollen. Put the gathered flowers into a clear glass bottle of the kind known as a sugar or preserving bottle, made of good glass, of course. The glass must not be green. Stopper the bottle tightly and expose it to the sun until its contents are almost completely dry. When the chamomile is entirely dry, keep it in the same bottle in a very dry place.
[HS.01_010,11] If someone should then be stricken with cholera, take a generous tablespoonful of these flowers, put them in a cup and pour half a Seidel of pure boiling water over them. Cover the cup well for one to two minutes. Strain the tea and give it to the sick person to drink, and cover him well in bed. He will recover completely in a short time.
[HS.01_010,12] If one happens to have one or two grains of powdered castoreum (Castoreum sibiricum) to add to the tea, it will increase its effect. The so-called tincture of castoreum is inadvisable, however, unless it is made with juniper spirit distilled four times, to which half a Lot of powdered castoreum would have to be added for every half Seidel.
[HS.01_010,13] The bottle would then have to be well stoppered and exposed to the sun’s rays until the spirit had taken on a decidedly dark reddish-brown colour. Add seven to ten drops of such tincture to a cup holding three quarters of a Seidel of the chamomile tea just described. This will then also heal the ailment within a few minutes.
[HS.01_010,14] You now have the best remedies for cholera.
[HS.01_010,15] Shortly I will give you several more remedies for the Black Plague and so-called yellow fever.
