For example, to get rid of freckles, it is recommended that you go outside every morning really early and wipe the dew from the grass with the body part which contains the undesirable freckles. Then wipe the dew from the wet freckles to somewhere on your body that nobody can see. Do this every day for five months and the freckles will move to where you wiped them. The result is that you will still have freckles, but where no one else can see them. This remedy is not recommended unless you have very understanding neighbors, or live in the country.
