A fresh branch of Ash was placed in the fire, and the hot sap that dripped from it was gathered in a spoon and put into the ear to relieve an earache, rubbed onto warts, and placed on an aching tooth. Ash was also used to treat rheumatism. A poultice of the young leaves was placed on rheumatic parts, and a tea of the leaves was taken internally. Parts afflicted with ringworm were smudged with smoke from the burning twigs, and the inner bark was simmered in linseed oil to make a remedy for burns.15
