    olden days they used to get an Arc Luacha in their hand and put him on the place where the burn was. This eased the pain
    Long ago when people got a wound they got bhuachallán and beat them with two stones to get the juice. This they rubbed to the wound to heal it.
    In olden days when people got a sting of a nettle they got a dock leaf rubbed it to the sting in order to cure it.
