The segulah of taking dirt for the tomb of a Tzaddik for the ill

In the genarah Sanhedrin this matter of medicine is mentioned by dirt from the tomb of a tzadik, but the name of the segulah is   לקדחת (and according to Rashi, it is in the beginning of the disease,), and from the dirt of the very grave and not the area .And still we have indicated different customs that further expand the segulah to different ways, as will be explained in the sources. Well, certainly even in your case, there is no room to say that there will be any benefit for a recovery, and if it does not help, it will not hurt, and in particular that the holy affection is shown as a kind of examination of “והוי מתאבק בעפר רגליהם” (Avot 1:4), and in this itself it is appropriate to awaken the right of the tzadik, and it is better if the disease is a heart disease, that Rabbi Elazar Ben-aruch is the owner of the saying שדרך ישרה שידבק בה האדם הוא לב טוב, וסימנא מילתא, ודו”ק

[And one must be careful when taking dirt from the area of the tomb of a tzadik, if the land belongs to a private person or to Havra Kadisha, which will not be in the form of fear of theft, and especially if they begin to make pits there, etc.].

And to your question, the manner of using the dirt is indicated in the Rishonim z”l, and it is by involving a little of this dirt in the water, and letting the patient drink. And it is appropriate, of course, to pray before drinking, that the right of the tzadick will stand for the patient’s cure. And repentance and righteousness and prayer pass on the evil, and elsewhere we also brought formulas of prayersfor the sick, as well as various . Complete medicine and all the blessings!
