    The root of Bainne na n-Ean is a cure for toothache.

    The best remedy for whooping cough is to have one of the parents meet a man on the road with a white horse. They ask for a cure for whooping cough whatever he will say even it was only a drink of water it would cure the children.

    The cure for rheumatism is Celery seed.
