Bilberry was important, both as a source of food and medicine, believed to strengthen the blood/brain barrier, preventing debilitating brain deteriorating diseases. They also contain anti histamine properties and are good for skin.
Burdock was used by the Celts as a medicine and a food with the root being cooked as a vegetable and the other parts of the plant used as a powerful detoxifying herb that also helps regulate the hormonal system.
Nettle was used for cloth making, for its nutritional value in stews and its medicinal properties being very effective in prevention of haemorrhaging. Known as Devils Claw, nettle was also seen as a sign that fairies lived nearby and their sting protected one from witchcraft.
