According to an old Celtic legend, the spirits of children who died in childbirth use to scatter daisies on the earth to cheer their sorrowing parents.
During Celtic or medieval times, daisies were used to cure eye troubles, wounds, fever and gout.
Daisies, could help tell if a patient would live or die, by taking the flower and pounding it well with wine and then giving it to the patient to drink. If the patient vomited, they would die of the disease, if they did not, they would live.
