Strawberries


From Butterflimoon's Kitchen:
Strawberries...
This fruit has been associated with love, romance, but it also has other associations.  It is a good source of vitamins and as it is easily digested it is helpful i treating a number of digestive ills.  It has been used to reduce fever and diarrhoea.  The roots are used in cases of diarrhoea and even to cure dysentery.  Note:  In this day and age...always consult a doctor.  A tea made from the leaves is held to ease the pain ofrheumatic gout.  Strawberries can be used to reduce sunburn: in mild cases rub a strawberry over the face jus after washing with tepid water; in moree severe cases rub the juice well in and leave half an hour before rinsing off.  Strawberries can also be rubbed over the teeth and gums and the juice left on for 5 minutes before brushing teeth with bicarbonate of soda to make the teeth whiter.  They contain many volatile oils and some people actually give off the scent after eating them, which is held to be attractive to the opposite gender.  In the past the leaves were used to fragrance the skin, the scent being compared to Musk rose and Violet. 
Strawberries are used magically in spells for love and luck.  Carry 3 of the leaves to attract good gortune.
Rub a deep pink candle with a Strawberry and light it to make your beloved think of you.
Please be aware that if using strawberries where someone else is concerned, that some have allergic reactions ... be careful, be safe, harm none.  (by K.W.)
