  1. Fionnmhóin - Cure

    Share Share Post
    Finn-a-mhóin was used as a cure for corns. It is moss that grows on the top of a bog-hole, or in a very swampy place. The corns were washed with this stuff and after being washed five or six times the corn would get soft and could be easily taken out by the fingers.
