To refresh the Head (Eleda):

Ingredients: Coconut water River water or rain water
Raw milk Rice water Corojo butter
White juicy fruits such as: pineapples, pears, and sweet soursop.

Mix all the ingredients together and wash your head as often as you like. This is specially recommended for mild depression and anxiety and to get rid of the "blahs".

To feed the Head (Eleda):

Ingredients:
Coconut
Powdered egg shell
Cocoa butter
Smoked fish and jutia for Elegua
Slugs and black eyed peas
tamales for Obatala.
Two new white plates
Two candles
Cotton
A large white handkerchief

Feed Elegua and Obatala. Make a paste from the rest of the ingredients. Light the two candles and place one on the center of each plate.

The person whose Eleda is being fed should be sitting with his or her shoes off and holding on to his or her knees. The paste is placed on the plates around the burning candles. The Santero holds a plate in each hand and presents the offerings to the petitioner's forehead, shoulders, chest, the palms of the hands, the knees and the feet while chanting:
"awe bo awe to awe omo ori yuba ba wa osiweo owe to mo re."
The paste is then applied to the petitioner's head. While still wet, the cotton is applied, the head is covered by the handkerchief and the paste is allowed to dry.
