Blowhard, Esq. writes:
If a horse or other cattle is elf-shot, take docks seed and Scottish wax and let a man sing twelve masses over them and put holy water on the horse or cattle. Have the herbs always with you. For the same affliction, take an eye of a broken needle, give the horse a prick with it in the ribs. No harm shall come.

It’s still less strange than biodynamic farming.
