Bhíodh an diabhal aige Máire
Tá teine agus biadh aici.

“Cairrigin Moss is a great cure to purify the blood but you must boil bay-leaves and eat them first.”
Cairrigin Moss is a great cure to purify the blood but you must boil bay-leaves and eat them first.
If a person were sick and to leave a sliced onion in the room it is said that it absorbs the sickness.
If your eyes are getting sore and if you rub your spit to them for ten mornings it is said that the soreness would go away.
When people get burns from nettles, if they rub the dock-leaf to the place where the burn is it would take away the pain.
To boil a bay-leaf in milk and to drink that milk is a cure for a nervous person.
To drink cabbage water is a cure for consumption.
If you wash warts with your fasting spit every morning it would take them away.
Another cure for warts is to wash them in the water which remains in a hole after water. (rain?) - Collector
