Before winter sets in, herbalists and wise-women spent time in nature collecting the plants and herbs they needed for effecting cures during the winter season. In Cornwall, plants such as bramble (blackberry), ivy, rowan, chamomile, dock, and club moss were used in healing charms. In Cornish folk tradition, it was believed that charmers could not accept money and that the patient must not say "thank you." Sometimes powerful charmers were able to effect cures without seeing the patient in person (this was also true in Scotland and Ireland). In this case, the charmer might work with a piece of the patient's clothing, breathing their power into and reciting charms over the item. Secrets for charming were believed to only be handed down to someone of the opposite sex.
