Airmid is the daughter of Dian Cecht, Celtic god of healing. Dian Cecht replaced Nuadha’s (Nuda) lost hand with one of silver. Airmid assisted Miach, her brother, in restoring Nuadha’s metal hand with one of flesh. For this, his father killed him. From his grave grew 365 healing herbs which Airmid gathered and arranged according to their properties. But their father, still jealous, disturbed them, so that no one knows their proper cures.
