- Sloe Wine.Sloe wine is a cure for headaches. You gather the sloes, put them in a bottle with sugar and water. You then cork the bottle to keep it airtight. If you had a headache you would drink some of it.Murphy, Clounanna.
- Washing Soda.Washing soda is a cure for warts. Washing soda is rubbed to the warts a couple of times a day. After a week they would be cured, because washing soda has healing properties.Murphy, Clounanna.
