  1. Bochail an tige is a cure for corns. It grows on some old houses. They pull it and take the skin off it, and leave it on the corn.
    Long ago the people used to drink the juice of an herb for a cure for Rheumatism. The herb grew in drains in the bog. The people used to boil the herb in water, and the water that was left it was used for drinking.
