 For this reason, the patient is cleaned with seven leaves of its leaves, passing them throughout the body.Likewise, as part of this treatment, while the healer prays, he perfumes the patient's body with a charcoal, rosemary and copal incense and then cleanses it with an egg to remove the "bad air" that has taken possession of his body.The leaves are edible and are used to cure erysipelas in Morelos, and as an antiseptic in Oaxaca.
