Description: |
|
To spend time in writing a Descripton herof is altogether needless, it being so generally used by all the good Huswifes almost through this Land to sweep their Houses with and therfore very wel known to all sorts of people.
The Broomrape springeth up in many places from the Roots of the Broom, (but more often in fields, by Hedg sides, and on Heaths). The Stalk wherof is of the bigness of a Finger or Thumb, above two Foot high having a show of Leavs on them and many Flowers at the top, of a deadish, yellow colour, as also the Stalks and Leavs are. |
|
Place: |
|
They grow in many places of this Land commonly, and as commonly spoyl all the Land they grow in. |
|
Time: |
|
And Flower in the Summer Months, and give their Seed before Winter. |
|
Use: |
|
The Juyce, or Decoction of the yong Branches, or Seed, or the Pouder of the Seed taken in Drink, purgeth downwards, and draweth Flegmatick and watery humors from the Joynts, wherby it helpeth the Dropsie, Gout, Sciatica, and the pains in the Hips and Joynts: It also provoketh strong Vomit, and helpeth the pains of the Sides, and swellings of the Spleen, clenseth also the Reins, or Kidneys and Bladder of the Stone, provoketh Urin abundantly, and hindreth the growing again of the Stone in the Body. The continual use of the Pouder of the Leaves and Seed, doth cure the Black Jaundice: The distilled Water of the Flowers is profitable for al the same purposes; it also helpeth Surfets, and altereth the Fits of Agues, if three or four ounces therof, with as much of the Water of the lesser Centaury and a little Sugar put therin, be taken a little before the fit cometh, and the party be laid down to sweat in their Bed. The Oyl or Water that is drawn from the ends of the green sticks heated in the fire, helpeth the Toothach. The Juyce of the yong Branches made into an Oyment of old Hogs Greas and anointed, Or the yong Branches bruised and heated in Oyl or Hogs Greas, and laid to the Sides pained by wind, as in Stitches, or the Spleen, easeth them in once or twice using it: The same boyled in Oyl is the safest and surest Medicine to kil Lice in the Head or Body of any; and is an especial Remedy for Joynt aches, and swoln Knees that come by the falling down of Humors.
The Broomrape also is not without his Vertues.
The Decoction therof in Wine is thought to be as effectual to avoid the Stone in the Kidnies and Bladder, and to provoke Urin, as the Broom it self: The Juyce therof is a singular good help to cure as wel green Wounds, as old and filthy Sores, and malignant Ulcers. The insolate Oyl wherin there hath been three or four Repetitions of Infusion of the top stalks with Flowers strained and cleered, clenseth the Skin of al manner of Spots, Marks and Freckles that arise either by the heat of the Sun, or the Malignity of humors.
As for the Broom (for as yet I know not what to say to Broomrape in the business) but as from Broom, Mars owns it, and it is exceeding prejucidial to the Liver, I suppose by reason of the Antipathy between Jupiter and Mars, therfore if the Liver be disaffected, administer not of it. |
