- The herbs that do the most harm are the dockleaves. They prevent the young plants from growing. The nettle is a good cure for Bronchitis. The dandelion mixed with lettuce is good for the health. The fearbh-bhán is the most poisonous herb. The chicken weed and the blood weed do the land a lot of harm. Slántús is good for cuts. Long ago the people used to dye clothes from heather.
