- Long ago when doctors were much scarcer than at present, people used herbs for cures.
The gay "giolcach" or broom plant was a popular remedy for rheumatism.
Another herb known as "fothram" was thought to be a cure for any disease, but then smoked in a pipe was good for a toothache.
The sorrel was a good cure for boils. Another herb was the worm's knot.
It was supposed to be made over calves suffering from colic.
To cure children of the whooping cough was to pass them in and out under a donkey making the sign of the Cross.
Other remedies of this kind were the swallowing of live frogs by consumptives, and the application of the pot hangers for a backache.- Bailitheoir
