- Luibh na seacht ngádh grows in mortar on walls. Fotharam (figwort), lus mór, marsh mallows, Seanduinín liath, boiled in goats milk and given to cattle. Most if not all of the above are poisonous and only used when all else failed. Luibh na seacht ngádh was also used as a charm to protect from the "Good people". Spúnc boiled and drunk fasting is very good for bad stomach.
