Cures of Ireland: A Treasury of Irish Folk Remedies is out now in paperback ✨

Cecily Gilligan has been researching the rich world of Irish folk cures for almost forty years and, given the tradition has largely been an oral one, has been interviewing a broad range of people from around the country who possess these mystical cures. One had a cure for eczema that was comprised of herbal butter balls, another ‘bought’ warts from the sufferer with safety pins. There are stories of clay from graves with precious healing properties and pieces of cords from potato bags being sent across the world to treat sprains 🍃

This is an informative and beautifully illustrated exploration of Ireland’s ancient healing tradition.

Available now online & in all good bookshops!
