The Three-Band Broom That Cured Back Pain
Sweden · Site of legend
A man who walked on two canes from back pain was struck across the back with a twig broom — and when he rose, the pain was gone.
It was told of a man so tormented by back pain that he had to lean on two canes. Someone then struck him across the back with a twig broom so that he fell to the ground. When he rose, the pain had vanished, and people said it was the best thing he could have done. The broom was to be bound with three bands.
