Amulet doll Kubyshka-Travnitsa - a keeper of good health. In ancient times, it was used for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. Remember the magic doll and now.

Kubishka-Herbalist - the guardian of health

The history of the Herbal Pod begins at a time far from our modern technologies, including medicine. The ancestors were famous for their incredible good spirits and good health. From them to the present time, the ability to make a talisman doll out of rags, saving from negative energy and all kinds of diseases, was transferred. Such a healer strengthened the health of the inhabitants of the house. They called her the Herbalist. The doll helped everyone: from young to old, created a pleasant fragrance, calmed, strengthening strength and spirit to accomplish new important things.

Doll Kubyshka was an indispensable assistant in the house of every housewife. It was made from special herbs. This composition protected from ailments, strengthened the immune system. When someone in the family was sick, the Herbalist was laid at the head of the bed where this person lay. People believed that in this way the chrysalis helped to heal more quickly.

Mothers gave a small rag doll to their children to play with. With a pleasant smell, she cleansed the air, soothed, brought good dreams at night. People believed that this way the kids would grow up healthy and strong.

The herbalist protected the hearth from evil forces, improved mood, and with a pleasant smell tuned in to good and kind thoughts.

Variations of amulet dolls

Previously, the hostesses made several Herbal Pods for their home. Each had a special place and purpose. You can do the same.

Hang one doll by the baby's bed. While he sleeps, the Herbalist will guard the health of all family members, not allowing ailments to walk around the house and send diseases to its inhabitants. In the old days, it was believed that the charmed grass protects from evil spirits and guards sleep.

From another Herbal Pill comes a wonderful aroma of peace. It helps the household to sleep peacefully at night. The doll is placed under the pillow, the essential oils of medicinal herbs (mint, lavender, thyme, motherwort, oregano) soothe, relieve insomnia and nightmares. With such an assistant in the morning, the household wakes up rested, full of energy and in a good mood.

The Herbal Egg Doll, depending on the herbs it is filled with, can protect against colds, give sound sleep and even scare away rodents

The third can be placed in the kitchen. For her, you should choose herbs that stimulate a good appetite (dill, dandelion, rue). In addition, the Herbal Pill purifies the air, eliminates unpleasant odors, and also enhances the atmosphere of home comfort.

Another doll can be sent to serve as a kind of disinfectant in the cellar or barn. The intense smell of herbs (black root, wormwood, mint, tansy, chamomile) repels pests, especially rodents that like to eat easy prey in a hungry time.

How to make a do-it-yourself herbal pot

From time immemorial, there has been a traditional way of making capsules, but each hostess, with her own imagination, gave her doll a uniqueness. Someone liked to embroider bright flowers on clothes, someone liked to make braids out of twine and weave ribbons into it. Someone created a doll with a scarf on her head and an apron with beautiful patterns tied over a sarafan. Rowan necklaces were hung around the neck.

Collection of herbs

Now all the necessary herbs can be bought at the nearest pharmacy or from the old women in the market, but it is always more pleasant when the potion is collected with one's own hand - the way it was done in the old days.

First you need to wake up on a beautiful summer morning, always with a smile and a wonderful mood. Put on something comfortable and non-marking, and most importantly - something that you like. Get out of the house and hit the road. If you like, get together with good comrades. It is important that fellow travelers are after your heart. If one of them fell out of favor, it is better to make sure that he falls behind your cheerful company somewhere along the road.

Folk craftsmen say that those dolls, the fabric for the manufacture of which was taken from the old things of the hostess, have more power: in this way, the amulet will already be saturated with the energy of the owner

On the spot, while the men are busy building a fire and catching fish, the women can take their baskets and scatter in all directions in search of a better clearing to collect fragrant herbs.

Plants were chosen for different purposes:

• for a restful sleep - a mixture of motherwort, chamomile, lemon balm, oregano and hops;
• from a cold - sage, wormwood, pine needles, St. John's wort flowers, pine cones;
• for freshness and comfort - with a pronounced smell: juniper twigs, thyme, garlic seeds.

In your summer cottage you can also find many useful and fragrant herbs, such as mint, raspberry leaves, currants, cherry twigs.

After the end of the fun festivities, the hostesses tie the herbs into bundles and lay them out to dry in the sun. Then they are hung in the house for further use: from something you can brew a tasty and healthy tea, and from something you can make a doll-amulet. Such an activity captivated not only adults, but also children.

If a doll is created for a girl who cannot become pregnant for a long time, it is important that during the work the husband is not near the craftswoman, and after making the assistant coastline is hidden from prying eyes until conception occurs. Only the mistress herself was allowed to look at the doll, play and talk with her.

How to use correctly

To return the former aroma to a somewhat stale amulet, you need to slightly wrinkle it. Then the essential oils will again interact with the air.

Rag doll Herbalist can serve its owner for a long time. A mixture of dry herbs does not deteriorate and does not lose its marvelous properties for years. When you see fit, the contents of the doll can be changed, the amulet should not be a peddler of dust in the house.

The same goes for the doll's outfit. If for some reason it has deteriorated, then the parts can be replaced using the same techniques as described above. Just do not forget: no cuts and injections, that is, do not use needles and scissors!

Herbalist - the ancient guardian of health

The history of the herbal capsule amulet dates back to times far from modern technologies and knowledge of medicine. Despite the fact that medicine in those days was not in the best condition, our ancestors were famous for their incredible strength, good spirits, and health. From their glorious times to our modern ones, the ability to make interesting rag dolls was transferred, saving the owner from negative energy, protecting from colds, weaknesses and other diseases. Bereginya from herbs strengthened the health of those living in the house, supported immunity, fortitude, created a pleasant aroma in the house, playing the role of a flavoring agent. It was called the herbal pod.

Purpose of the herbalist

This simple but significant amulet was an indispensable part in every home of those times. They stuffed it with special compositions of herbs, which protected against ailments, strengthened the immune system. When someone in the house was sick, the doll was placed at the head of the bed on which the person was lying. People believed that the capsule helped to heal.

A small rag doll was given to children to play with. The herbal egg doll was not only an interesting toy for children, but also had a pleasant aroma, purified the air, soothed, lured good, good dreams and sound sleep. People believed that thanks to these dolls, children grew up healthy and strong.

Ancestors attached great importance to the herbal egg, it was supposed to protect the house from evil forces, improve the mood in the house, keeping the family strong and friendly, tune with its pleasant aroma to good deeds and good thoughts.

Pupae variations

Dolls-amulets of the herbalist are stuffed with different herbs and have different purposes. Previously, the housewives made several capsules for the house, and each had its own special purpose and place in the home. If you want to create a doll for yourself, choose which one you need for its intended purpose, or make several.

One egg was placed or hung by the bed of a small child. While the child was sleeping, the herbalist protected his sleep and health. The herbalist was also placed at the bedside of adults, she also protected their health, not allowing ailments to walk around the house, she protected residents from diseases, from evil spirits. In the old days, it was believed that properly collected and charmed herbs protect residents from demons and protect sleep.

Another herbal capsule was stuffed with fragrant herbs. A marvelous, pleasant, pacifying aroma emanated from the finished pupae. They also helped the household to sleep soundly, to have pleasant dreams. The finished doll was placed under the pillows, they were stuffed with medicinal herbs (mint, lavender, thyme, oregano and motherwort). A set of such herbs calmed, helped in the fight against insomnia, averted nightmares. The next morning, our ancestors woke up rested, full of strength, energy, in a good mood.

The third doll was placed in the kitchen. She was stuffed with herbs that caused a violent appetite. Dill, dandelion, rue were suitable for this. In addition, this set of herbs purifies the air, eliminates unpleasant odors, and emphasizes home comfort.

The fourth herbal doll was placed in the cellar or settled in the barn. She served as a disinfectant. It was stuffed with various strongly odorous herbs that repelled pests. Especially rodents, which, in times of hunger, gladly made their way into the cellars, eating supplies. The composition of such a chrysalis included wormwood, mint, tansy.

How to make a do-it-yourself herbal pod?

For a long time there has been a traditional way of creating this special amulet with your own hands. But each hostess still makes such a doll in her own way, connecting her imagination and giving the product a certain uniqueness. Someone embroidered various patterns and flowers on the doll's clothes. Someone made braids from twine or thread, woven ribbons. Someone tied a handkerchief around the head of the doll, put on her a beautiful painted apron. They hung necklaces of rowan berries on the shore.

It is very easy to make a herbal pod, it does not require much material. The main component of the chrysalis are herbs, fragrant, medicinal, properly collected and dried.

Collection of herbs

If earlier, in order to make a herbal capsule, it was necessary to collect all the necessary herbs on your own, now you can buy them at a pharmacy or in the grandmother’s market. Although, of course, it is much more pleasant when the plants are prepared with their own hands, just like housewives did in the old days.

Herbs must be collected correctly, especially for a miraculous amulet. Wake up on a warm summer morning. Definitely on a sunny day, with a smile and a great mood. Put on comfortable, non-staining clothes and leave the house. Traditionally, gathering herbs is a fun, pleasant company, so bring friends with you if you wish.

For different purposes, you will need different herbs:

• for a restful sleep - motherwort, chamomile, oregano, lemon balm, hops;
• from a cold - sage, wormwood, needles, St. John's wort, pine cones;
• for comfort - garlic seeds, juniper, thyme;
• for the bedroom - mint, raspberry, currant or cherry branches;
• for appetite - dill, parsley, basil, celery, garlic.

Collect the right herbs carefully, carefully. Put in a bag, tie in bundles at home and dry in the sun. From the collected herbs, you can not only brew delicious gulls, but also create a talisman doll.

Material for creating a doll

To create a herbal egg doll, you need shreds of natural fibers. Preferably cotton, linen. The brighter the fabric, the better. Craftsmen are of the opinion that the amulet has more power if it is made from fabric cut from the old things of the hostess. The finished amulet will be saturated with the energy of the owner and mistress of the house.

Let's see what we may need to create a do-it-yourself herbal capsule:

The process of creating a doll

Making an herbal pod starts with the head. For filling, you can use cotton wool, rags. The head should be in proportion to the body. Take a white piece of fabric for the head, put cotton wool inside, twist and fix with a thread. The head should be smooth, without wrinkles. Wrap it with red thread.

Under them form a waist. Wrap the doll under the handles with thread.

Thread the puffy chest to the body of the doll.

Take prepared herbs and scraps of fabric for pouches. Lay the plants in the middle, lay the remaining space with cotton wool. Tie the pouches by connecting with the handles. Lay the remaining herbs in a large piece of cloth for the body. Connect them to the body, tightly tied with strings.

Decoration

The doll is ready, and you can decorate it. For example, tie her a scarf made of bright fabric, put braids of threads, ribbons, twine under it.

Bereginya can be dressed in a dress sewn separately or simply tied with an apron. Take a piece of fabric, attach to the waist, tie with a ribbon or thick thread. Criss the ends at the back and tie in a bow.

Decorate the doll as you wish, using your imagination.

After the herbalist is ready, it must be activated as a talisman, a shore of home comfort.

The main rule!

In the process of creating an amulet, namely the torso, it is impossible to pierce the product with a needle, cut it with scissors. Prepare in advance, cut off pieces of fabric, but do not cut anything on the doll. Do not use scissors, knitting needles, pins and needles to create. To fasten the parts to each other, take ribbons and threads.

You can use scissors and needles when creating clothes for the doll. But sew sundresses, scarves and aprons separately.

It is necessary to create a talisman with a good mood, putting all the warmth, love, care into the work. Think about your family, about the person for whom you are making a doll.

Charm activation

When the doll is ready, it is necessary to perform a ritual with it and talk with the amulet. Say hello to the herbal pod. Tell her everything you want from her. Speak politely, affectionately, with respect, call her a sweetheart and a beauty. Be sure to thank her for the fact that she is now in your home.

If you made a doll for someone, then also say hello to her, tell who you will attribute her to, what is required of her, ask the future owners for longevity and well-being.

Order that the recipients also say hello to the doll, thank you for the help.

A sincere conversation with the amulet will activate it, set it in the right, positive way. After that, the chrysalis can be placed in its rightful place. Be sure to clean up there, wipe off the dust, you can cover the shelf with a napkin.

Rules for using the capsule

There are some rules in using a rag amulet stuffed with fragrant herbs. If your chrysalis is a little caked and has lost its former aroma, carefully remember the bags so that the herbs release more essential oils. This can be done daily before bed, but be careful. With careless handling, dry herbs can turn into dust.

A rag herbalist can serve her mistress for a long time. Properly collected and dried plants do not deteriorate and do not lose their fragrant and medicinal properties for a long time. In addition, you can optionally change the herbs in the bags.

The same goes for the doll's outfit. You can also change aprons, dresses, handkerchiefs, hair using the technique described above. Just do not forget: the pupae cannot be cut and pricked, sewing needles and scissors cannot be used in the process.

That's how easy it is to create a do-it-yourself herbal doll. What a lovely scent it gives off! Hide various herbs in her bags, soak her with natural essential oils. Be careful with your little guardian.

The chrysalis chrysalis is in demand not only as a talisman, but also as an interesting element of decor and an assistant in aromatherapy. A cocktail of pleasant, rich aromas can really be a great sedative. Lavender, mint, pine needles have a positive effect on mood. Natural aromas, hand-picked herbs really will be a good prevention for your household, protection from colds in the cold season.

Doll Travnitsa or, as it is also called Kubyshka, a ritual motanka doll is one of the many Slavic charm dolls. It will not be difficult to make a Herbalist doll with your own hands, especially if you use our master class. The main thing, as in the manufacture of all amulets, is to convey to the doll your good positive energy.

How to make a do-it-yourself Herbalist doll

The capsule is filled with useful herbs

The herbal capsule, as the name of the doll already implies, is filled with herbs that are beneficial to human health. Herbs strengthen the immune system, have a positive effect on the nervous system, and kill harmful bacteria. The amulet of the Herbalist was usually placed at the bedside of a sick person in order to defeat his illness.

The egg-cup often served as a toy for the child. The Slavs believed that the more the baby was in communication with this amulet, the stronger his physical and spiritual health would become.

According to Slavic beliefs, the capsule is able not only to preserve human health, but also to protect it from dark forces with the aroma of medicinal herbs.

In addition to the Kubyshka, the ancient Slavs also had other coaster dolls - Zernovushka and many more like them.

Everyone decorates a toy in their own way.

There is a certain way of making an amulet - a basis that must be followed exactly. But in addition to the traditional method, each woman tried to add something of her own, to decorate her amulet doll more elegantly. It could be various ribbons, beads, ribbons, lace apron and similar things.

Today, almost any amulet, including the Herbalist doll, can simply be purchased in specialized stores. But, if you make a doll with your own hands, follow all the recommendations for making it and fill it with your positive emotions, then your energy will be in harmony with the energy of the amulet, which will increase its magical power several times.

Do-it-yourself master class on making herbal dolls

A toy can be made from the most common materials.

To make an Herbalist with your own hands, you will need a few things that are quite affordable for any person:

• piece of light fabric 20x20 centimeters;
• two smaller colored shreds - 10x10 centimeters;
• a small triangular patch to make a handkerchief;
• a small strip of bright matter - no more than 2 centimeters long, and a width within 1 centimeter;
• piece of colored fabric 40x40 centimeters;
• two square multi-colored shreds - 5x5 centimeters;
• lace fabric 10x7 centimeters;
• 25 centimeters of braid;
• natural multi-colored threads;
• a small piece of synthetic winterizer;
• and of course, medicinal herbs.

Making a head for a toy

We start making a charm doll from the head. To do this, put a piece of padding polyester in the center of a square of light fabric (20x20 centimeters). Next, we collect the fabric around the padding polyester and tie it with a thread - this is how we designate the future neck of the doll. Please note: the turns of the thread must be an even number. In the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe face, the matter must be smoothed out very carefully so that there is not a single wrinkle.

Making hands

Now lay out the matter (which remained under the neck) and accentuate the wrists with threads. Then, also with the help of threads, mark the waist. Now you will need prepared square colored patches (10x10 centimeters). Breasts are made of them for the doll, filling the flaps with padding polyester (like the head).

We make "horns" for the capsule

On a colored strip of fabric, you need to make two knots and fix the strip on the head of the future doll. These are the "horns" of your Capsule. All elements of the amulet are fixed with threads.

We knit a scarf on the head

Although the Herbalist must have “horns” (such is her appearance), they are covered with a handkerchief. Therefore, subsequently it will be necessary to tie a handkerchief so that the “horns” are not visible, you need to tie a handkerchief from behind.

Small squares of fabric (5x5 centimeters) should be filled with herbs, for this, make two small bags out of them.

We make the main part of the doll

Now it's time to dress up your amulet. To do this, take a piece of fabric (40x40 centimeters), put a piece of padding polyester in the center, and around it - grass, then another piece of padding polyester, and again grass. That is, the bag that you get, you need to fill almost completely. Attach (insert into the upper part) the pupa blank to the top of the resulting bag and secure with a thread.

We tie an apron

Decorate the clothes of the amulet with a lace apron. Tie a belt to her, then the fastening of the apron will look neat. Attach small knots with herbs to the hands of the dolls.

What herbs are suitable for pods?

To make your herbal doll strong and have additional value, it is better to fill the doll with several types of herbs. The ancient Slavs believed that each ailment needed its own specific herb. There are no strict instructions about the types of herbs for the Capsule, you can study the healing and magical properties of various plants and make your own individual choice.

But we will still give some tips in this article.

For example, mint is believed to develop mental abilities. There is a legend that says that the name "mint" to the grass came from the Goddess Menta, who personified common sense. Mint is highly valued by philosophers, and Roman students always wove mint wreaths for exams.

Lavender emits a very pleasant soothing scent. In addition, lavender normalizes blood pressure, eliminates headaches and has an antimicrobial effect.

Melissa has a mild hypnotic effect, helps with nervous excitement, and restores heart rhythm.

St. John's wort is very good for neurasthenia, insomnia, and it is also able to relieve headaches.

Thyme is a well-known antiseptic. It relieves inflammation, pain and can be used as a light sleeping pill.

Oregano has a sedative effect and speeds up recovery from colds.

Features of making a doll-amulet Kubyshka-Travnitsa

Before you start creating your coastline, you need to remember well some prerequisites:

1. Your psychological state during the manufacture of the amulet is very important. You should be calm, be in a good mood, you should not be distracted by anything. In your soul there should be warmth and kindness, which will be transferred to the amulet.
2. In the process of making the Herbalist, it is very good to read the corresponding conspiracies or just talk with the doll, ask her to help avoid various ailments and protect her from misfortunes.
3. You need to make the amulet alone and in the most calm environment, when nothing distracts you.
4. It’s good if you lovingly decorate your coastline with beads, ribbons or ribbons.
5. In the manufacture of winding dolls, the Slavs never used needles and scissors. Therefore, if you would like to decorate the Herbalist's clothes with embroidery, then do it in advance. When choosing a pattern for embroidery, you can stop at the ancient sacred Slavic symbols - your coastline will be magically stronger.

About the apron

Some signs are associated with the apron

An apron is an element of the herbalist doll that has a special meaning. The Slavs believed that the number of children in the family depends on the length of the doll's apron - the longer the apron, the more children will be born.

If you want the apron of your amulet doll to be embroidered, then choose a horizontal pattern. This pattern symbolizes the retention of wealth. With a vertical pattern, wealth will “drain” from the apron.

Herbalist's chest has a sacred meaning

The chest of the Herbalist doll also has its own meaning, it symbolizes fertility. Try to make the breasts without defects, even and quite lush.

If in the process of making the amulet you fail to complete some stage immediately, then this makes it possible to understand what exactly is wrong with you or what is the problem with your family. After all, at the moment of focusing on the process of work, all your feelings manifest themselves brighter and make it clear some deep problems.

Where there are defects in the manufacture of the amulet, there are problems with health or material well-being. With Herbalist, you will be able to eliminate these problems. By correcting the defects of the Capsule, you thereby eliminate the existing problems in your life.

Headdress of the Herbalist

Herbalism is always done with a covered head

The ancient Slavs walked with their heads covered - this symbolized a clear mind and wisdom in decisions. Therefore, the Herbalist must also have a headdress. First, dress the doll with a warrior - the lower scarf ("horns" of the Herbalist should be under the warrior). The Slavs believed that the "horns" give a woman strength, help protect her children and, in addition, the "horns" personify fertility. A scarf is tied over the head of the warrior (the ends of the scarf are tied at the back).

If you carefully and carefully follow the above recommendations, then making the Herbal Capsule will not be difficult for you. And as a result, you will get an excellent protector who takes care of you and your loved ones.

Are you earning enough?

Check if this applies to you:

• enough money from paycheck to paycheck;
• salary is only enough for rent and food;
• debts and loans take everything that comes with great difficulty;
• all promotions go to someone else;
• you are sure that you are paid too little at work.

Perhaps you have been tainted with money. This amulet will help to remove lack of money

Our ancestors made dolls for different occasions. The herbal capsule served as a talisman for the family. She exorcised evil spirits, improved the atmosphere in the house, filled the home with herbal aromas, making the air cleaner and preventing various diseases.

The Herbal Pod looks like an aunt with two bags in her hands. The components of the amulet are six knots: head, torso, chest, knots in the hands. Fill the doll with herbs:

• mint and oregano - to purify the air in the house;
• lavender - for headaches;
• lemon balm and St. John's wort - from insomnia;
• thyme - from colds.

It is better to collect herbs yourself. The head of the Herbal Pod is tied with a warrior. It must have two knots on it (as if the horns, which in ancient times were considered a symbol of wealth, were protected from dangers and enemies). They will protect the children and give the hostess strength. The scarf of the little helper is a symbol of a woman's wisdom.

The herbal capsule will cure diseases and improve the energy at home

Do-it-yourself herbal pot

You can make the herbal pot with your own hands. The rules for making a talisman are simple:

• you need to make a chrysalis alone and at a time;
• do not use piercing and cutting objects;
• have a good mood;
• read spells and prayers.

When collecting filler for the chrysalis, you need to talk with herbs, ask them for help.

According to the principle of a rag doll, a knitted amulet is also made

We charge, activate, use the amulet

The herbal pod may not be activated. It is already charged in the process of work with your good mood, conspiracies, prayers. If you want to enhance the effect of the amulet, you can do this. On the full moon, put the doll on the windowsill and say: “I call on the mother moon, I call on her for help! Let him give strength to my amulet for good and good deeds!

The amulet is also activated when used. You need to hold the Herbal Cap in your hands, crush it - and the aroma of herbs will disperse throughout the house. It will disperse anxiety and put your thoughts in order. You need to change the contents of the skirt and knots once or twice a year.
