Use: |
|
Both the Herb and Seed of Flixweed is of excellent use to stay the Flux or Lask of the Belly being drunk in Water wherein gads of Steel heated have been often quenched; and is no less effectual for the said purpose than Plantane or Comfry, and to restrain any other Flux of Blood in man or Woman, as also to consolidate Bones broken or out of Joynt. The Juyce therof drunk in Wine, or the Decoction of the Herb drunk, doth kill the Worms in the Stomach or Belly, or the Worms that grow in putrid and filthy Ulcers; And made into a Salve doth quickly heal all old sores, how foul or Malignant soever they be. The distilled water of the Herb worketh the same effects although somwhat weaker, yet is a fair Medicine, and more acceptable to be taken.
It is called Flixweed becaus it cures the Flux, and for its uniting broken Bones, &c. Paracelsus extols it to the Skies. It is fitting Syrups, Oyntments, and Plaisters of it were kept in our Houses. |
