  1. Herbs

    Share Share Post
    These herbs were told to me by my mother Cassie McHugh, Tullycleave, Ardara, co. Donegal.
    Long ago the people used to make plasters with flowers called "Crows-feet". This plaster was used for cleaning cuts. The flowers were pounded through oat meal and buttermilk and it made a good plaster.
    There is another herb called "Mouses ear" and it was used for giving to fat lambs to keep them from taking diseases.
    Ivy leaf is good for a burn.
