What’s the book about?
Before modern medicine emerged, it was widely believed that illnesses, ailments, and injuries were caused by demons or even the devil himself. Some believed a witch could cast a curse that brought about sickness. As a result, people developed superstitions, rituals, prayers, and exorcisms to drive away these evil forces.

Author Henryk Biegeleisen, weaving together Slavic demonology, Christian faith, mythology, and ancient folk traditions passed down through generations, reveals the healing practices once used by the people. He explains traditional spells, prayers, and incantations, emphasizing that the most powerful tool was always the spoken word — even if it seemed meaningless, like the famous “abracadabra.”

Why was jaundice treated with yellow-colored objects? Why was dog hair applied to dog bites?
Where did the belief come from that eating calf lungs could cure lung disease? And did drinking the most revolting mixtures really “disgust” the illness enough to make it leave the body?

Folk Medicine of the Polish People explores these and many other strange and fascinating beliefs.
