Fetish mother-in-law

SINCE we got married over six years ago, my mother-in-law has always poked her nose into our problems— real or perceived. When I had a couple of miscarriages, she was always over with native potions and charms, which I threw in the rubbish bin.
I now have two healthy children, still she comes around with charms and potions to ward off ‘evil spirits’! I used to humour her, but I’m now fed up with her antics. She’s now insinuating she would like to have the kids over from time to time.
I wouldn’t have minded, but for the fear that she might rub her numerous potions on them when I’m not there to stop her. 
My husband has refused to have a word with his mum. According to him, she means well and whatever she gives her grand-children wouldn’t hurt them. 
Help!

Whatever you do, you want your mother-in-law on your side. Your husband is right, the woman wouldn’t deliberately want to endanger the lives of her grandchildren.
Have a word with her about how you feel but if she still insists on bringing the charms and potions, then you must continue dumping them in the rubbish bin.
However, you can’t control the way she cares for your children when they’re with her. Whatever she gives them would be easily washed off as soon as they get home.
As for the ingested potions, don’t worry, they’ll come away when they use the toilet!
