bálsamo de fierabrás
  12

Cure-all, miracle remedy for any disease, panacea of all ills. Don Quixote tells Sancho what its ingredients are (oil, wine, salt and rosemary) to cure him of one of the numerous beatings they are given. They take the concoction cooked and blessed with 80 Our Fathers, 80 Hail Marys, 80 salves and 80 other creeds. After vomiting, sweating and sleeping Don Quixote is cured. In Sancho it has a vomitive and laxative effect because he is not a knight-errant, according to his master.
