To be under "crossed conditions" is to have a hex, jinx, or curse on you, to have been "thrown at," "rootworked," or had a "mess" placed on you. Uncrossing baths are prescribed to remove blocked and crossed conditions, restore good luck, and overcome enemy spells.
The following four-ingredient, five-day uncrossing bath comes from the same rootworker, Hyatt's Informant 1532, we encountered earlier, and it includes Hyatt's questions as well. This woman's work is an excellent example of down-home simplicity in Southern conjure, and it is similar to other uncrossing recipes Hyatt learned while in Memphis.

"There's another bath that I bathe. I'm telling you to take five baths in this, for five days. Now, this bath that I fix — now my best ingredient in this bath is soda [baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, a natural anti-bacterial deodorant]. And into this two tablespoons of soda I add two tablespoons of sugar, two of salt, and two of mustard powder, and that's all. Then you place this mixture in a small quantity of water, about four cups of water, let it be real warm, and then you take that and sponge your whole entire body with it, and then you rinse it off."

("In all this bathing, according to your motions, you always bathe down?")
"Down, down, like you say. If you bathe yourself down, that sugar will sweeten your body. The salt is a saving ingredient, isn't it? That mustard is for sweating possession out of you, and that soda opens the pores and dries that stuff out. And regardless of whatever may be done, whatever, you'll sure be able to come free."
("You take this bath if anybody has put a spell on you and this bath draws it out?")
"It really will, yeah, it really will. And then it'll drive enemies away and make peace in the time of confusion. Then it'll help you to be successful, to go forth into the world and accomplish what you try to accomplish. You'll find there's nothing under the Sun no greater than those four little common things."
