There are many weeds which grown in our garden, such as Tanzy, Foxtail, Spunk, Ceanabhanbeg. Some of these weeds have cures for diseases, such as the Ceanabhanbeg for the Meneric Fever, and the March Mallice for sprains. It is said that Foxtail grows in low wet land, and that the thistle grows on good dry land.
