The Legend and Life of the Daisy Part 2

In Anglo-Saxon times the daisy was also used as medicine but furthermore required the reciting of magic spells to make it truly effective. An addition of "Holy Water" was recommended as well. Another example of Christian trimmings added to primitive medical practice. In the thirteenth century they were used for wounds, fever and gout.  Reference: http://www.sfheart.com/
