  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    The people made cures themselves long ago. If a person got he craos galair and put a gander's beak into his mouth and make him screach it would go away. Or the seventh son or daughter could take it away. Or if a child's whose father died before he was born could take it away by spitting on it.
    The person that would like an asluacra could cure a burn, but they should lick him twelve times before they have the cure.
    If a person had a toothache to mix pepper, salt, salts, bread-soda, it would take it away, or best of all to smoke a cigarette the smoke of it is very good.
    If you had a pain in your head put Saint Brigid's tile around it and it would leave.
