- [Place:]
- So this is [Native language], this is [Native language], and this is the [Native language] of the green tea leaf. Okay. This is for a broken bone. You get a handful of [Native language], a handful of [Native language], and three [Native language] of this green tea leaf. But what you’re going to do—this white portion, this what you’re going to break it off out of the three. You have three of them, and this is what you’re going to use. Use all of these together with a pinch of Hawaiian salt in it, and you pound it together. This is for a broken bone, and whatever you do, before you start with anything, you always ask our Heavenly Father above— to guide you with the [Native language] that you are preparing and what it’s for and for whom, and you ask him to be with you and with this [Native language] and with this hand that was preparing this—to heal.
