Got this from Wikipedia.
In Irish mythology, the goddess Airmed (also given as Airmid) 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]
After her jealous father slew her brother, Miach, Airmed wept over
her brother's grave. Watered by her tears, all the healing herbs of the
world sprung from the earth over Miach's body, and Airmed collected and
organized them all, spreading them on her cloak. Once again, their
father lashed out, and scattered the herbs. For this reason, no living
human knows all the secrets of herbalism. Only Airmed remembers.[1]
Along with Dian Cecht, Ochtriullach, and Miach, Airmed was one of the
enchanters whose incantation sung over the well of Sláine was able to
resurrect the dead.
