I have always heard that if a child has asthma that you are to cut a limb
the size of the child and when the child outgrew the limb, they would
outgrow the asthma. I do not remember the tree it had to be from, but you
were to hang it over the door. My brother had asthma and my papa cut one
for him and his asthma did go away after her outgrew the stick. I have
always heard of marking babies in your first trimester. My mom took care of
my ears after they were pierced while she was pregnant with my brother. He
was born with indentions in his ears where an earring would go.
