Aqua Ammoniae
Also called Hartshorn Water, Spirits of Hartshorn, or simply (inaccurately) Ammonia, it is a solution of Ammonia in water, denoted by symbols NH3(aq). Ammonia is called water or spirit of Hartshorn because of the experimentation of the early chemists in the 17th century when they tried to distill ammonia solution from shavings of harts' (a species of deer) horns and hooves.
People pass ammonia inhalants under the nose when reviving someone suffering from the loss of consciousness or fainting.
It is also a standard household cleaner with a magical reputation in the Hoodoo tradition as a purifier, protectant, cleanser, and a polite substitute for chamber lye or urine. I know some practitioners conclude their house cleansing ritual by pouring a small amount of Ammonia down the drain.
Spiritual workers from New Orleans add a tablespoon of Ammonia to the Protection bath, which is mixed with salt and vinegar. Other practitioners from other parts of the Southern United States mix Ammonia, cinnamon powder, and saltpeter for Cleansing and Protection baths. Both spiritual baths are performed for nine consecutive mornings to ensure safety and defense from harm.
A common practice, especially among shop owners and storekeepers, is to add Ammonia to floor-scrubbing water with Chinese Wash, cinnamon powder, and sugar and to mop the corridor or sweep or scrub the sidewalk inward toward the front door of the shop while reciting Psalm 23, to draw good customers.
There's also an old-fashioned trick in African-American tradition where conjure men and women put a name paper of their convicted enemy in an empty sugar bowl. Then they put in red pepper, black pepper, nail, door key, and Ammonia. They cover the sugar bowl and set a second door key upright in the bowl, resting against the side, which they turn every day at noon to keep their enemy in jail. They add a little Four Thieves Vinegar every time they turn the key.
And, of course, the traditional reversing work where Ammonia is also utilized. This simple spell is performed by writing out the situation you want to turn around on a slip of paper and taped to the inside of the jar near the top, with the written part turned inward to hide your intention. The Ammonia is poured until the jar is about half full while stating your situation with a strong emphasis and praying over it. The jar is closed tightly and turned upside down to make the Ammonia cover the slip of paper and work its magic.
Be careful not to breathe the fumes when using Ammonia.
