  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    Herbs are generally found in fields, hedges or rough stony hills. Sometimes they are found in bogs and marshes.
    People should be very careful when picking them. They should make a thorough examination of the herb they want to pick.
    A dandelion, boiled in milk, is a cure for consumption and warts. Barbery boiled in milk and then drank is a cure for yellow jaundice.
    The yellow iris cures coughs and indigestion. The juice of it cures toothaches. Nettles cure nettle rash and rheumatism. Garlic cures diseases in cattle.
