    Long years ago people did not go to the doctor when they were sick. They had many cures made from herbs. Nettles were used as blood purifier. The male fern was used as a wormpowder. Comefrey was used for sprains. Caranbeg used for minarace and honey suckle is used yet to cure blast or start in cows and is a perfect cure to this day. They used to cure the yellow jaundice by prayer.
