In the first ceremony of the fourth day of the Mountain Chant, the medicine man carried a bowl of pine needles in water, in which the patient washed both hands. He then drank some of it, and finally bathed his feet and legs to the thighs, his arms and shoulders, his body and then his face and head, before he emptied the remainder over his back. | Elmore, Francis H., 1944, Ethnobotany of the Navajo, Sante Fe, NM.
