In briefanswer capsule

Ioreth is the eldest woman in the Houses of Healing. She weeps for Faramir and cites old lore that a king's hands heal, revealing the rightful ruler. Gandalf praises that hope and names her wise among Gondor's women. Asked about kingsfoil, she knows the country name, has none stored, and sees little worth in it, though the bruised plant smells wholesome. Gandalf offers to carry her to Lossarnach's woods for the herb.
