The curse of Cawh is a legendary tale that has been passed down through generations. The story goes that there was once a small village called Cawh, nestled deep in the mountains. This village was home to a tight-knit community that lived in harmony with nature. However, the village was plagued by a curse that seemed to bring misfortune to its inhabitants. It was said that anyone who uttered the word "Cawh" would befall terrible luck and tragedy. The curse was believed to have been cast hundreds of years ago by a powerful sorceress who was angered by the villagers.
Beeswax comes in two varieties, white and yellow but the white is bleached and processed so I never use it, it’s always better to stay as close to nature as possible. Candelilla wax is derived from the leaves of a shrub native to Mexico and is slightly harder than beeswax so you generally want to use a fraction less in a recipe. Carnuba is a similar product derived from a Brazilian Palm. The advantages of these two is that they are vegan so products can be made that are suitable for everyone. The disadvantage is that they come from a very long way away (at least if you live here in Europe!). It’s a tricky choice as some producers of bee products are far from ethical or kind to their bees. I do use beeswax but always try to get it from a local supplier that I know I can trust.
Suitable ingredients for a salve include many vegetable oils such as olive, sunflower, sweet almond, apricot and beeswax or vegetable wax such as candelilla or carnuba. Not only can it help protect you against coughs and sniffles, but it can promote resiliency and support your body s own ability to keep healthy and strong.
The curse was believed to have been cast hundreds of years ago by a powerful sorceress who was angered by the villagers. According to the legend, the sorceress had warned the villagers not to disturb the ancient burial grounds located near the village. But the villagers, ignorant of the consequences, ignored her warning and continued to desecrate the sacred site.

Enraged, the sorceress placed a curse on the village, ensuring that they would pay for their disrespect. From that day on, the curse haunted the people of Cawh. Farmers experienced failed crops year after year, cattle mysteriously died, and illness spread throughout the village. It seemed that no matter what the villagers did, they could not escape the Curse of Cawh. As the generations went by, the story of the curse became a cautionary tale, passed down from parents to children. The villagers learned to avoid mentioning the name of their village at all costs, for fear of invoking the curse. It became a taboo subject, and the name "Cawh" was only spoken in hushed whispers. The curse continued to affect the villagers' lives for centuries, causing the community to become isolated and skeptical of outsiders. They became a superstitious people, always looking for signs and omens in the hope of avoiding further misfortune. Despite their efforts to appease the curse, the people of Cawh seemed destined to suffer. It was not until a brave young outsider arrived in the village that things began to change. This stranger, who had heard of the curse, was determined to break its hold on the village. Through research and investigation, the outsider discovered a hidden relic that was said to hold the key to lifting the curse. With the help of the villagers, the relic was found and brought to the ancient burial grounds. A ritual was performed, and the curse was finally broken. The village of Cawh emerged from the curse with a newfound sense of hope and freedom. The people began to prosper, and the curse became nothing more than a distant memory. They no longer feared uttering the name of their village, and instead embraced their history and heritage. The curse of Cawh serves as a reminder of the power of words and the importance of respecting the past. It reminds us that our actions have consequences and that we must always strive to live in harmony with each other and the world around us..
