As many ways to become a werewolf there are ways to stop being one, or at least to keep these fearsome creatures away.
Ablation of heart or the brain
Werewolves can be killed by any wound that destroys the heart or the brain, decapitation of its head and removal of its heart, or any form of death that causes brain or heart damage (such as hanging or other oxygen-deprivation methods).
Silver bullets
It is said that shooting using silver bullets is very effective in killing werewolves. Even if the efficacy of silver has often been traced to pagan belief in the power of certain metals to ward off evil spirits, its appearence in werewolf mythology seems to be after the rise of the catholic church. Silver is a metal has long been considered to have mystical properties. Its influence ranges from zero to being the only thing that can injure or kill a were .
Exorcism
Exorcism is of dubious benefit against Werewolves. Use the same precautions as for Vampires.
Here is a recipe taken from a german legend :
Cast a circle of 9 feet, and a smaller one only 4 feet in diameter.
Place a series of candles at equal intervals, and place a wooden altar in the south. Within the inner circle, place the werewolf
Build a small fire exactly opposite of the altar, and 1 1/2 foot away from the inner circle.
Place a pot over the fire, containing 2 pints of clear water. To this add:
1/2 oz. camphor
3/4 oz. ammonia
1/2 oz. hypericum
2 drachms sulfur
1/2 oz castorium
6 drachms opium
3 drachms asafoetida
Mix thoroughly and then add a portion of mandrake root, 1 live snake, 2 live toads in a linen bag, and a fungus.
Bind together with red ribbon a wand of three sprigs, each from ash, white popular, ans birch.
When the toads cry out from being immersed in the now boiling water, the mixture is ready.
Take a cupful of the searing liquid and douse the werewolf, as well as lashing him/her with the wand exclaiming "Foul spirit release this persons' soul, return to the great unknown!" Repeat 3 times." (Lather, rinse, repeat..;)
Water
Another popular means of protection is water. This can be based upon the relation of lycanthropy and hydrophobia, since a real canid who is affected by this disease fears water. Sweet water baths are then highly recommended.
Other Cures
Draw the Werewolf blood to fainting
Draw the Werewolf 3 drops of blood
A friend of the werewolf gives him three knifes strokes.
Lop off the Werewolf’s penis
Flog the Werewolf
Roll the Werewolf in the dew
Purge the Werewolf colon and encourage vomiting
Some plants and ingredients: Wormwood, Thyme, Acrid vinegar
Have the Werewolf drink milk and whey for 3 days
In England, rye, cinder, mistletoe, silver and ash trees are good means of protection and you can get away from a werewolf and be safe by climbing up into such a tree.
Rub the Werewolf nostrils with opium before bed
Force the Werewolf to drink salt water
Blowing the head of a werewolf using an iron rod will free the man from werewolf possession
Hit the Werewolf on the head three times with a knife
Reproach verbally the Werewolf
Address the Werewolf three times with a Christian name
Salute the Werewolf with a sign of the cross
Splash the Werewolf with holy water
