Cundiamor (Chickweed) Herb Bath

Cundiamor, also known as Chickweed, is a plant commonly used in traditional healing practices associated with San Lazaro (also known as Babalu Aye). It is believed to have medicinal properties and is used to treat various common ailments. In the oldest tradition of ritual bathing, special herbs are used to impart certain essences, such as love-getting, money-drawing, protection from evil, or the removal of curses. The herbs are steeped in boiling water, the mixture is strained, and the liquid is cooled before being poured over the body while standing in a wash tub.
