    Among the useful herbs we have
    Camomile which is said to cure consumption
    The Mullin Plant which is supposed to have the same properties.
    Acrimony which gives great relief in cases of asthma.
    Dandelion is a blood purifier
    Luibh na Seacht nFádh whose name explains itself.
    Brooklime is also a blood purifier
    Cois Dubh for stomach trouble and headaches
    Cynacle for liver complaints
    Other herbs are used for dyeing crimson, saffron.
    These are used lavishly on the Gaeltacht sea-board to colour the home-spun flannels and tweeds.
