Airmed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Irish mythology, the goddess Airmed was one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. With her father Dian Cecht and brother Miach, she healed those injured in the Second Battle of Magh Tuiredh.[1]
Because she collected and organized the herbs that grew from Miach's grave, she is particularly associated with herbalism.[1]
Along with Dian Cecht, Ochtriullach, and Miach, she was one of the enchanters whose incantation sung over the well of Sláine was able to resurrect the dead.[1]
