  2. The Use of Herbs

    Share Share Post
    There are many herbs through the country which were used by the people in olden days.
    For children they used Rosenoble. It was boiled on milk and used for hives.
    The roots of the seven sisters are pounded and made into a salve with fresh butter. This is a cure for a burn. The bog-bean is used for purifying blood.
    Dock seed is used for a cough. People boil it and add some sugar and liquors.
