B'Ellana burned some incense in her quarters, a "combination of mental relaxant and expeller of demons. It's an ancient Klingon remedy. Janeway replies, "Interesting fragrance. I'm surprised it hasn't set off the environmental alarms." (VOY "Nothing Human")

{Dargh wIb} (sour tea) may be a Klingon heartburn, indigestion or hangover remedy. (CK)

Klingon agent Kras told Maab, "What did they [the Federation] give you? Liquids and powders for the sick! We Klingons believe as you do. The sick should die, only the strong should live." (TOS "Friday's Child")
