    There is a herb called bog bean, it is got in the bog, it is used for cleaning the blood. It is boiled to take the juices out of it, then you drink the juices.
    There is another herb called 'rose noble'. It is boiled and put on as a poultice to a festering sore.
    There is a harmful weed called the thistle, it is harmful because it spreads rapidly, it grows only in good land.
