People would wear a cloth around their head when they had the mumps because it was used to hold a ginger root salve on the swollen areas. Ginger is a well-known herbal remedy for mumps. To apply the ginger, a whole peeled root of fresh ginger would be ground into a fine pulp and the pulp would be used as a salve over the swollen areas. The salve tends to be very watery, so it would be spread on a clean bandage or clean piece of cloth and held in place by tying a bandana or a longer piece of cloth around the head.
