Cures of Ireland : A Treasury of Irish Folk Remedies

Cures of Ireland: A Treasury of Irish Folk Remedies by Cecily Gilligan explores Ireland's long tradition of folk healing, drawing on interviews Gilligan conducted over nearly four decades.

It documents herbal treatments, charms, and mystical cures passed down through generations that are still practised across the country despite modern medicine.

Gilligan, who experienced folk healing firsthand as a child growing up in County Sligo, gathers first-hand accounts from both healers and the people they treated, offering a rich record of a fading but still-living tradition of Irish home and folk remedies.
